Heading 2401 — Tobacco, unmanufactured; tobacco refuse
Chapter 24: Tobacco and manufactured tobacco
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 240130 when importing or exporting tobacco refuse, which is the residual product from tobacco processing. For example, if you are shipping leftover tobacco leaves after the production of cigars, this code applies.
This code specifically covers tobacco refuse, distinguishing it from unmanufactured tobacco classified under HS-6 240110. While 240110 pertains to raw tobacco leaves, 240130 focuses on the by-products that remain after processing.
Tobacco refuse can include stems, dust, and other remnants that are not suitable for making finished tobacco products. If you're dealing with processed tobacco waste, this is the correct classification.
When considering tobacco refuse, be aware of its potential uses, such as in the production of nicotine extraction or as a component in animal feed. Understanding the end-use is crucial for proper classification.
