About heading 2401
Unmanufactured tobacco (whether or not threshed or similarly processed); tobacco refuse
Heading 2401 covers unmanufactured tobacco in its raw leaf and refuse forms, not finished smoking products. It splits first by processing state: 2401.10 for tobacco not stemmed or stripped, 2401.20 for tobacco partly or wholly stemmed or stripped, and 2401.30 for tobacco refuse such as stems and scrap. Each of those is then split by wrapper tobacco content, tobacco type (flue-cured, burley, Maryland, Oriental/Turkish, cigar, fire-cured), and end use in cigarettes or other products.
