2401.10.63.90 - Other

This HTS code, 2401.10.63.90, covers unmanufactured tobacco that is not stemmed or stripped, does not contain wrapper tobacco, or contains no more than 35 percent wrapper tobacco, and is specifically classified as "other" within the light air-cured leaf categories. It represents a residual classification for tobacco types not explicitly defined under the preceding sibling codes. The defining characteristic for this sub-classification is that the tobacco must be described in additional U.S. note 5 to Chapter 24 and entered in accordance with its specific provisions.

This category serves as a catch-all for light air-cured leaf tobacco that doesn't precisely fit the "flue-cured" (2401.10.63.30), "burley" (2401.10.63.60), or "Maryland" (2401.10.63.80) descriptions. While all these categories fall under unstemmed, unstripped, and largely wrapper-free light air-cured leaf tobacco, the "other" classification hinges on meeting the specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 5. Importers must consult this note to determine if their specific type of light air-cured leaf tobacco qualifies for classification under this residual code.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is finalized at this level based on the specific type of unmanufactured tobacco, its processing state, and its compliance with the provisions of additional U.S. note 5 to Chapter 24.
