Parts for Tobacco Preparing and Making-Up Machinery (N.E.S.)

Yes. Machinery parts are industrial goods subject to standard CBP entry procedures and applicable tariff rates; they are not subject to FDA tobacco-product regulations, which govern the tobacco products themselves rather than the equipment used to make them. However, importers should ensure the parts are correctly classified to avoid confusion with tobacco-product tariff lines.

The part must be identifiable as designed principally for tobacco-preparing or making-up machinery — typically demonstrated through OEM part numbers, machine-specific tolerances, or manufacturer documentation. A generic bearing or fastener used incidentally in tobacco equipment would not qualify; a cam assembly or filter-rod-cutting blade designed for a specific cigarette-making machine would.
