About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, specifically HTS Code 2401.20.31.20, covers "Burley" unmanufactured tobacco. This classification applies to tobacco leaves that are partially or wholly stemmed or stripped, and have not undergone threshing or similar processing. The defining characteristic of this category is the specific type of air-cured tobacco known as Burley, which is known for its light color and mild flavor profile, and is primarily used in the production of cigarettes and smoking tobacco.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS Code 2401.20.31.10 covers "Flue-cured" tobacco, which is cured using artificial heat and has a different chemical composition and taste. HTS Code 2401.20.31.30 covers "Maryland" tobacco, another type of light air-cured leaf with distinct characteristics. The sibling category HTS Code 2401.20.31.40, "Other," serves as a residual category for light air-cured leaf tobacco that does not fit the specific descriptions of flue-cured, burley, or Maryland.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 2401.20.31.20. Therefore, the classification is definitively established for Burley tobacco that meets the preceding criteria of being unmanufactured, partly or wholly stemmed/stripped, not threshed, and intended for use in products other than cigarettes. The focus remains on the physical form and specific varietal identification of the tobacco leaf.
