Flue-Cured Tobacco Stems (Cut and Ground)
These are flue-cured tobacco stems that have been cut and ground into small particles, classified under HTS 2401.30.25.10 as tobacco refuse intended for use in products other than cigarettes, such as pipe tobacco or chewing tobacco. The flue-curing process imparts a specific flavor profile, and the processing meets the 'cut, ground or pulverized' criteria.
