2401.30.37.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 2401.30.37.90, pertains to "Other" tobacco refuse. This category specifically encompasses tobacco refuse that does not fall under the more precisely defined types of refuse listed as siblings. It is designated for goods meeting the criteria outlined in Additional U.S. Note 5 to Chapter 24, which provides specific provisions for the entry of certain tobacco products. Consequently, this classification serves as a residual category for tobacco refuse that is otherwise eligible for entry under these particular U.S. customs regulations but does not conform to the more specific preceding subheadings.

The distinction between this "Other" category and its siblings lies in the specific type and processing of the tobacco refuse. Siblings, such as "Flue-cured," "Burley," and various "Fire-cured" and "Dark air-cured" varieties, denote tobacco refuse derived from these distinctly processed and cured leaf types. This 2401.30.37.90 classification is applied when the refuse is not readily identifiable or categorized by its specific curing method or origin as described in the preceding sibling subheadings, but still qualifies under the established additional U.S. note provisions.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories branching from this specific HTS code. The classification ends here, with 2401.30.37.90 representing the final determination for qualifying tobacco refuse not otherwise specified. The practical application of this code relies on a careful review of the physical characteristics of the tobacco refuse and its conformity with the stipulations of Additional U.S. Note 5, distinguishing it from refuse that might fit more specific sibling descriptions.
