Last updated: August 2026 dataUnit price per cigar is the structural backbone of the US tariff schedule for this heading, with lines spanning from small cigars priced below $0.15 each through premium products priced above $0.76 each (2402108080), making accurate per-unit valuation a critical compliance step at entry. The Dominican Republic leads US import supply, followed by Nicaragua and Honduras — the three countries that collectively account for the bulk of premium hand-rolled cigar imports and whose products are widely distributed through specialty tobacconists and club retail channels. Importers should note that the FDA Center for Tobacco Products exercises premarket and labeling authority over cigars, and that certain product categories may be subject to additional regulatory review before commercial distribution.

The applicable 10-digit line depends on the transaction value per individual cigar unit, not per box or per kilogram. Importers must calculate the per-unit price from the commercial invoice and apply it consistently across the shipment. Mixed-price shipments — where different SKUs fall into different price brackets — may require separate line items on the entry to ensure each product is classified in its correct bracket.
Under US trade practice, cigarillos are generally small, thin cigars with a tobacco wrapper, while 'small cigars' may refer to machine-made products of similar dimensions. Both are classified within heading 240210, but the specific 10-digit line depends on unit price rather than the cigarillo/small-cigar distinction itself. Importers should consult a licensed customs broker to confirm classification when product descriptions are ambiguous.
