2403.91.45.90 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 2403.91.45.90, covers "Other" manufactured tobacco substitutes that fall under the broader category of "homogenized" or "reconstituted" tobacco. Homogenized or reconstituted tobacco is a product made from tobacco particles, stems, scraps, or dust that are reformed or reformed into sheets or strips. This process allows for the utilization of various tobacco byproducts and can alter the physical properties of the tobacco for specific manufacturing purposes.

This specific subheading distinguishes itself from its siblings (Flue-cured, Burley, and Maryland) by encompassing reconstituted tobacco that does not fit into those more specific curing categories. While those subheadings likely refer to reconstituted tobacco derived from specific cured leaf types, 2403.91.45.90 serves as a residual category for any other reconstituted tobacco product not otherwise specified by those more granular classifications. The key differentiator here is the *lack* of a specific curing method or leaf type designation, focusing instead on the reconstituted nature of the tobacco.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 2403.91.45.90. Therefore, classification within this subheading will rely heavily on the specific characteristics of the reconstituted tobacco product itself, as well as adherence to any relevant additional U.S. notes, such as additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 24, which may provide further criteria for entry and classification of such goods.
