2401.10.61.90 - Other

This HTS category, 2401.10.61.90, encompasses unmanufactured tobacco that is not stemmed or stripped, does not contain wrapper tobacco, or contains no more than 35 percent wrapper tobacco, and is intended for use in products other than cigarettes. Specifically, it covers types of light air-cured leaf tobacco that do not fall under the more specific classifications of flue-cured, burley, or Maryland varieties. The "Other" designation signifies tobacco leaves that possess characteristics or origins not precisely defined by the preceding subheadings within this group.

The distinction of this category lies in its exclusion of the primary "flue-cured," "burley," and "Maryland" types of light air-cured tobacco, which are classified under separate HTS codes. While all fall under the broad umbrella of light air-cured leaf, 2401.10.61.90 serves as a residual category for those light air-cured tobaccos that do not meet the specific criteria for the other listed types, maintaining a clear delineation for customs purposes based on distinct varietal characteristics or cultivation methods.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification under 2401.10.61.90 is therefore determined by the exclusion from more specific categories and the confirmation that the unmanufactured tobacco is of the light air-cured leaf type, not stemmed or stripped, intended for uses other than cigarette manufacturing.
