Chapter 24: Tobacco and manufactured tobacco
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2402 when importing cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, or cigarettes made from tobacco or tobacco substitutes. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of premium cigars with decorative bands, this heading applies.
Deciding between HS-6 240210 and HS-6 240220 can be tricky. If your product is a cigar or cigarillo containing tobacco, including all attachments, use 240210. If it's a cigarette made from tobacco, then 240220 is the correct choice.
For products made with tobacco substitutes, such as herbal cigars or cigarillos, you'll want to classify under HS-6 240290. This line covers items that include any bands or wrappers, ensuring accurate classification for non-tobacco products.
