2401.10.61 - To be used in products other than cigarettes

This HTS classification covers unmanufactured tobacco that has not been stemmed or stripped. Specifically, it applies to tobacco that does not contain wrapper tobacco or contains no more than 35 percent wrapper tobacco by weight. The "Other" designation within this subcategory indicates that the tobacco is not solely of the cigar wrapper type.

This category is distinguished from other sibling categories at the same level by its specific exclusion of cigar wrapper tobacco. The focus here is on leaf tobacco intended for use in products other than cigarettes or cigars where the wrapper component is either absent or comprises a minor portion.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to distinguish different types of light air-cured leaf. These include Flue-cured, Burley, Maryland, and "Other" categories, each representing distinct varieties of tobacco cured using specific methods and possessing unique physical and chemical characteristics, which influence their intended use and market value.
