Analysis
HTS 2401.10.48 covers oriental or Turkish type: other under heading 2401 (unmanufactured tobacco (whether or not threshed or similarly processed); tobacco refuse).
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 350%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 2401.10.65 (other: other), at 350%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 350 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 57% of the 35 tariff lines in chapter 24. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111910 (Tobacco Farming). That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
