Vaping products imported into the US from China will now face a 180% tariff following the latest twist in a still developing trade war. Understanding how this figure is reached – and why so many other sources appear to be reporting the wrong total – involves tracing the history of US tariffs on Chinese vaping imports back to 2018.
Other reduced-risk products may also be affected by tariffs on Chinese imports but will have their own total rates depending on their harmonised tariff schedule (HTS) code, as not all tobacco/nicotine products fit under the same HTS code as vaping products.
