2403.19.30 - To be used in products other than cigarettes

This category, HTS 2403.19.30, encompasses smoking tobacco that does not fall under more specific classifications within subheading 2403.19. The key distinguishing feature is that this "other" category is intended for products used as smoking tobacco, but crucially, it is to be used in products *other than cigarettes*. This means that while the material is processed for smoking, its final application excludes direct use in pre-manufactured cigarettes, differentiating it from tobacco classified elsewhere for cigarette production.

Within the broader heading of "Other manufactured tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes," this specific subheading focuses on smoking tobacco. The "Other: Other" structure indicates that it represents a residual classification for smoking tobaccos that haven't been categorized under previous, more granular "other" distinctions. The essential criterion is its designation as smoking tobacco, excluding its use in cigarettes, and not fitting into any other specialized smoking tobacco categories.

The subdivisions under 2403.19.30 provide further refinement based on specific tobacco types commonly used for smoking. The subcategories include "Flue-cured" (2403.19.30.50), "Burley" (2403.19.30.60), and "Maryland" (2403.19.30.80) tobaccos, each known for distinct curing processes and flavor profiles that influence their smoking characteristics. The final "Other" subcategory (2403.19.30.90) serves as a catch-all for any remaining smoking tobaccos not fitting the specific type descriptions, ensuring comprehensive coverage within this group of non-cigarette smoking tobaccos.
