Overview

This HTS code, 2401.30.27.20, specifically classifies "Burley" unmanufactured tobacco that is intended for use in products other than cigarettes. Burley tobacco is an air-cured variety known for its light color and mild flavor profile, making it suitable for various smoking and chewing tobacco products. Its unique curing process, involving natural air circulation rather than artificial heat, contributes to its distinct characteristics.

This classification distinguishes Burley tobacco from other air-cured and flue-cured varieties listed at the same level. For instance, while other categories might cover "Flue-cured" (2401.30.27.10) which is dried using artificial heat, or other air-cured types like "Dark air-cured Kentucky and Tennessee" (2401.30.27.40) which has a darker color and stronger aroma, 2401.30.27.20 is exclusively for the specific characteristics of Burley. The sub-classification "Other" under "To be used in products other than cigarettes" indicates that this category encompasses Burley tobacco not destined for cigarette manufacturing.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 2401.30.27.20. Therefore, the classification rests solely on the identification of the tobacco as Burley and its intended use in non-cigarette products. Importers and exporters must ensure the tobacco's physical characteristics and intended end-use align with the definition of Burley to correctly apply this code.
