Last updated: August 2026 dataWrapper-content percentage is the primary classification axis for unstemmed leaf tobacco, splitting lines between those containing over 35% wrapper tobacco — including the prized Connecticut Shade variety (2401102020) — and the broader range of flue-cured, Burley, Oriental/Turkish, dark-fired, and air-cured types below that threshold. The US tariff schedule is unusually granular here, with dedicated lines for Dark-Fired Kentucky/Tennessee (2401108010), Virginia fire-cured (2401109520), and Oriental/Turkish cigarette leaf (2401104400), reflecting the distinct agronomic and blending roles each type plays in domestic manufacturing. Canada leads import supply, followed by Turkey and Macedonia, making origin documentation critical for correct classification of Oriental-type leaf. Many lines under this heading are subject to tariff-rate-quota treatment, so quota timing and in-quota versus over-quota duty exposure are central planning considerations for leaf dealers.

The US schedule divides unstemmed leaf primarily by whether the shipment contains over or under 35% wrapper tobacco by weight. Lots exceeding that threshold fall into the wrapper-tobacco lines (including Connecticut Shade-specific codes), while cigarette leaf, Burley, flue-cured, and dark-fired types are generally classified in the sub-35% group. Accurate bale-by-bale sampling and documentation of wrapper content is essential to avoid misclassification.
Several 10-digit lines under 240110 carry tariff-rate-quota (TRQ) treatment, meaning a lower in-quota duty applies up to a set annual volume, with a higher over-quota rate above it. Importers must monitor quota fill levels and time shipments accordingly, as the duty differential between in-quota and over-quota entries can be substantial for high-volume leaf purchases.
