2401.30.25.20 - Burley

This classification covers unmanufactured tobacco refuse, specifically tobacco stems that have been cut, ground, or pulverized. This processed refuse is intended for use in products other than cigarettes. The "other" designation within tobacco refuse indicates that it does not fall into more specific categories of refuse.

The key distinguishing feature of this category, 2401.30.25.20, is the physical processing of tobacco stems into a cut, ground, or pulverized form. While siblings like "Flue-cured" (2401.30.25.10) and "Fire-cured Kentucky and Tennessee" (2401.30.25.35) refer to specific types of unmanufactured tobacco leaves based on their curing methods and origin, this category focuses on the processed form of a byproduct (stems) rather than the primary leaf product and its processing. The commonality among these siblings is that they represent unmanufactured tobacco or its refuse intended for uses outside of cigarettes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS system, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2401.30.25.20 is determined by the material being tobacco stems, their processed state (cut, ground, or pulverized), and their intended end-use in products other than cigarettes. This level of specificity ensures accurate tariff application for this particular form of tobacco refuse.
