2401.20.35 - Other

HTS Code 2401.20.35 categorizes unmanufactured tobacco that is partly or wholly stemmed or stripped, not threshed or similarly processed, and which does not contain wrapper tobacco or contains not over 35 percent wrapper tobacco. This classification specifically applies to "Other" types of tobacco within this broad group, excluding those that meet the specific criteria of sibling category 2401.20.33, which pertains to tobacco entered pursuant to additional U.S. note 5 to this chapter.

This "Other" designation signifies tobacco that falls outside the more specific sub-classifications of flue-cured, burley, and Maryland leaf, but still fits within the general framework of light air-cured leaf tobacco that has undergone partial or full stemming/stripping. The intent is to capture a residual group of unmanufactured tobacco leaf that does not readily fit into other, more precisely defined categories at this level of detail.

To further delineate this category, HTS Code 2401.20.35 is subdivided into more granular classifications. These include specific types such as Flue-cured (2401.20.35.10), Burley (2401.20.35.20), and Maryland (2401.20.35.30) tobacco, reflecting distinct curing processes and leaf characteristics. An "Other" subcategory (2401.20.35.40) exists to capture any remaining light air-cured, stemmed/stripped tobacco not otherwise specified, ensuring comprehensive coverage within the broader classification.
