Products classified under HTS 2401.20.87.60
Threshed Blackfat Tobacco Leaves
Blackfat tobacco is a dark air-cured variety known for its heavy body and rich flavor, processed by threshing and stemming to remove the stem while preserving leaf integrity. It falls under HTS 2401.20.87.60 as partly or wholly stemmed/stripped, threshed or similarly processed unmanufactured tobacco refuse, specifically the Blackfat subtype. This classification applies to bulk imports for blending in pipe tobacco or chewing products.
Stemmed Blackfat Tobacco for Pipe Blending
Stemmed Blackfat tobacco consists of dark, oily leaves stripped of stems and threshed for uniformity, ideal for premium pipe tobacco mixtures due to its bold, earthy profile. Classified in HTS 2401.20.87.60 as threshed, partly stemmed unmanufactured tobacco refuse of the Blackfat type. It's imported in bulk for further blending, not retail packaging.
Threshed Blackfat Dark Tobacco Refuse
Blackfat tobacco refuse includes threshed leaf scraps and strips from dark air-cured plants, stemmed and processed for flavor extraction in blends. This HTS 2401.20.87.60 covers 'other' threshed tobacco refuse specifically as Blackfat, distinguishing it from flue-cured types. Used primarily in chewing tobacco or snuff production.
Air-Cured Blackfat Tobacco Strips
Blackfat strips are threshed and stripped dark tobacco leaves from air-curing, offering high nicotine for robust blends. HTS 2401.20.87.60 applies to this 'other' category of partly stemmed, threshed unmanufactured tobacco, emphasizing the Blackfat subtype. Imported for industrial blending in non-cigarette products.
Bulk Blackfat Threshed Tobacco for Snuff
Bulk threshed Blackfat tobacco is dark, fermented leaf processed by stemming and threshing for snuff or chewing tobacco bases. It matches HTS 2401.20.87.60 as 'other' threshed Blackfat, unmanufactured and not prepared for retail. This supports its use in industrial oral tobacco production.
Dark Blackfat Tobacco Leaf Flakes
Blackfat leaf flakes are produced by threshing stemmed dark air-cured tobacco into uniform flakes for blending. Classified under HTS 2401.20.87.60 for threshed 'other' Blackfat tobacco refuse, as it's unmanufactured beyond basic processing. Primarily for pipe and chew tobacco industries.
Fermented Blackfat Threshed Strips
Fermented Blackfat strips undergo air-curing, stemming, threshing, and natural fermentation for deep flavor in blends. HTS 2401.20.87.60 covers this as processed Blackfat tobacco, still unmanufactured. Used in specialty non-cigarette products like plug chewing tobacco.
Blackfat Variety Threshed Tobacco Bulk
Bulk threshed Blackfat tobacco is a specific dark variety processed by stripping and threshing for export blending. It fits HTS 2401.20.87.60 as 'other' threshed Blackfat, unmanufactured per chapter definitions. Ideal for American blend pipe tobaccos.
