Whole, unground stems from sun-cured Virginia tobacco, imported for grinding into snuff bases (non-cigarette). HTS 2401.30.23.60 applies to these uncut tobacco refuse stems not destined for cigarettes. Ideal for moist snuff due to the mellow flavor from sun-curing.

Import Tips
• Prepare affidavit of non-cigarette use; U.S
• Note (e) specifies hand-rolled cigarette prep doesn't count as cigarettes
• Ensure no glycerol/molasses addition, as that would shift to 2403.11 water pipe tobacco
• Weigh accurately for quota; stems often settle, causing under-declaration pitfalls
