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 classification covers Virginia sun-cured tobacco, a specific type of unmanufactured tobacco that has undergone a sun-curing process. Sun-curing involves drying tobacco leaves naturally outdoors, exposed to sunlight, which imparts distinct characteristics to the leaf's color, aroma, and flavor profile compared to tobaccos cured by other methods. This category is relevant for importers and exporters dealing with tobacco intended for various uses.

It is important to distinguish "Virginia sun-cured" from other classifications at this level. For instance, "flue-cured," "burley," and "fire-cured" tobaccos are cured using different controlled heat methods (flues, wood fires, etc.), resulting in significantly different chemical compositions and physical properties. "Virginia sun-cured" is exclusively defined by its natural sun-drying method, separating it from tobaccos cured using artificial heat or air-curing techniques not involving direct sunlight.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the system, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, directly identifying Virginia sun-cured tobacco refuse. Classification at this specific point relies solely on the sun-curing method and its status as tobacco refuse.
