  1.  IT is a special purpose domain for listing the tobacco ingredients (only) for a tobacco product. Non-tobacco ingredients, such as wrapping paper and filter would not be represented in this domain (see IN domain for non-tobacco ingredients).
  2. IT is one of two domains that serve as the origin of the consistent identifier variable IGDCMPID (Ingredient or Component Identifier).
    1. IGDCMPID must represent a unique tobacco ingredient with regard to the attributes listed in 3a-3c, below. If two or more sources of the same variety of tobacco ingredient differ on any of these attributes, they must each be assigned a different value for INGCMPID (e.g., Burley Tobacco 1, Burley Tobacco 2)
  3. IT additionally contains variables for representing the following attributes of each  tobacco ingredient:
    1. Tobacco Product Master File, if applicable
    2. The specification or variety of the tobacco
    3. The complexity of the ingredient, to differentiate between single tobacco ingredients and complex ingredients (tobacco blends), and a separate indicator as to whether a complex tobacco ingredient was made to specifications.
    4. The tobacco cure method
  4. At least one record for the overall tobacco component/tobacco filler for the product must be included in the dataset. This will be necessary when quantifying the ingredients (see IQ domain for more information).
