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 category encompasses Virginia fire-cured unmanufactured tobacco, a specific type of tobacco cured using a slow, smoky fire process. This method imparts a distinct, strong, and often pungent aroma and flavor to the tobacco leaves. It is a form of tobacco that has undergone curing but has not yet been manufactured into finished tobacco products.

Virginia fire-cured tobacco is differentiated from its sibling categories primarily by its specific curing method and origin. For instance, it is distinct from "Flue-cured" tobacco (2401.30.70.10), which is cured using indirect heat in enclosed barns, or "Burley" (2401.30.70.20), which is air-cured. While "Fire-cured Kentucky and Tennessee" (2401.30.70.35) also involves fire curing, this specific subheading isolates the Virginia variety, potentially due to distinct agricultural practices or regional characteristics of the Virginia-grown product.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subdivisions. The classification is precise, covering only unmanufactured tobacco that is specifically of the Virginia fire-cured variety. Classification decisions at this level rely on the inherent curing method and the regional origin of the tobacco as documented by the importer.
