Type 32 Maryland tobacco is a dark air-cured variety, threshed and stripped for use in chewing tobacco and snuff production. It matches HTS 2401.20.87.30 as 'other' threshed Maryland tobacco outside quota provisions. The processing prepares it directly for blending without manufacturing.

Import Tips
• Document curing method (air-cured) and type number to substantiate Maryland classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests retail readiness, as that could invoke 'prepared for consumer' notes
• Confirm no glycerol or flavor additives, which would reclassify as water pipe tobacco under 2403.11
