Cigars, cheroots, cigarillos and cigarettes, of tobacco or of tobacco substitutes › Cigarettes containing tobacco:
HS code 24022090 – Other
This classification covers various types of cigarettes that contain tobacco, but are not specifically detailed under other subheadings within the broader category for cigarettes. Under Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule: a preferential (MFN) import duty of 135%, VAT of 10/8 and measured in “kg”.
What is HS code 24022090?
The 'Other' category within HS code 24022090 encompasses all cigarettes containing tobacco that do not meet the specific criteria of other more defined subheadings, such as those based on weight or particular characteristics. These products are typically manufactured rolls of tobacco, designed for direct combustion and inhalation, and are a core component of the manufactured tobacco products found in Chapter 24, which broadly covers tobacco and its substitutes.
For accurate classification in Vietnam, importers of these 'other' cigarettes must provide comprehensive product specifications, especially if the items have features not explicitly described in more specific subheadings. It is essential to clearly differentiate these products from cigars, cigarillos, or tobacco substitutes through documentation, confirming their composition as tobacco-containing cigarettes. The physical form and confirmed intended use as a combustible tobacco product are critical factors for customs authorities during the import process.

Special FTA preferential duties (2026)

A 85% gap - illustrated on a 100,000 USD shipment, that is roughly 85,000 USD saved in import duty.
But only if the shipment has a valid C/O and meets the rules of origin (RVC/CTC, etc.). The wrong C/O form or an RVC shortfall → duty reassessment and penalties at a post-clearance audit.
* The amount is illustrative only, not a commitment. The % gap comes from Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule; the preference actually granted depends on each shipment’s rules of origin.
