2402.10.30.30 - Small cigars, cheroots and cigarillos (weighing not more than 1.36 kg/1000)

This HTS classification, 2402.10.30.30, specifically designates small cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos that weigh no more than 1.36 kilograms per 1000 units and are each valued at less than 15 cents. This category encompasses a particular subset of tobacco products defined by both their physical weight and their individual economic value, ensuring a precise distinction within the broader classification of cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos containing tobacco.

The primary distinguishing factor for this category, compared to its sibling 2402.10.30.70 (Other), lies in the explicit valuation criterion. While both fall under the umbrella of cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos containing tobacco and each valued less than 15 cents, 2402.10.30.30 is reserved for those where the individual unit value is below this monetary threshold, and the weight parameter is met. The "Other" sibling category would capture products that meet the weight requirement but may exceed the 15-cent individual valuation, or potentially other nuances not explicitly defined.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive, meaning that products meeting the specified weight criteria (not more than 1.36 kg/1000) and individual valuation (each valued less than 15¢) are directly assigned to this code. Understanding these precise parameters is crucial for accurate import and export declarations.
