About HTS 2404.12.05.00
HTS code 2404.12.05.00 classifies imports of: Mixtures containing 5 percent or more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances. This line sits within Chapter 24 (Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes; products, whether or not containing nicotine, intended for inhalation without combustion; other nicotine containing products intended for the intake of nicotine into the human body), Section IV (Prepared Foodstuffs; Beverages, Spirits; Tobacco), and is catalogued as a tariff line in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. Duty is calculated against units of quantity: kg. A footnote applies to this classification: See 9903.88.03.
The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 2404.12.05.00 is 6.5%, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E, IL,JO,KR,MA, OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of 3.7¢/kg + 60% applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea, a much higher historical "full" tariff.
Footnotes: See 9903.88.03. Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
