HS Code 240311

HS code 240311 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Other manufactured tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes; ‘homogenised’ or ‘reconstituted’ tobacco; tobacco extracts and essences : Smoking tobacco, whether or not containing tobacco substitutes in any proportion : Waterpipe tobacco specified in subheading note 1 to this chapter". The first two digits (24) are the chapter — Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes — and digits 3-4 (2403) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 240311 include hookah tobacco, shisha tobacco, waterpipe tobacco and similar items matching waterpipe tobacco specified in subheading note 1…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (240311) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
