Prior to homogenization/reconstitution process, these would classify as unstemmed or stripped tobacco rather than finished manufactured form.
If originating from quota-eligible countries like Brazil or Argentina
Quota-specific subheading applies for certain origins with aggregate quantity limits, potentially offering lower duty rates.
