Overview

This HTS classification, 2401.20.83.60, specifically covers "Blackfat" unmanufactured tobacco, which has been partly or wholly stemmed/stripped and then threshed or similarly processed. This category applies to tobacco intended for use in products other than cigarettes, distinguishing it from tobacco designated for cigarette manufacturing.

The key differentiator for "Blackfat" within this subcategory lies in its specific varietal or processing characteristic that sets it apart from other threshed or similarly processed tobaccos to be used in non-cigarette products. Unlike sibling categories such as Flue-cured, Burley, Maryland, or Fire-cured Kentucky and Tennessee, the "Blackfat" designation signifies a unique blend of varietal traits, cultivation methods, and curing processes that result in a distinct physical and chemical profile. These differences are crucial for customs officials to correctly identify and tariff the imported or exported tobacco.

As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS classification tree, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is determined by the direct application of the HTS description and the preceding hierarchical context. Importers and exporters must ensure that the "Blackfat" tobacco they are classifying possesses the inherent characteristics and intended end-use that align precisely with this designation to avoid misclassification.
