Tobacco refuse

HS v2022 Code: 240130

About tobacco refuse

HS code 240130 covers tobacco refuse, which is a significant byproduct of the tobacco industry. Tobacco refuse includes stems, stalks, and other non-leaf parts of the tobacco plant that are left over after the primary tobacco leaves have been processed. While not suitable for direct consumption, tobacco refuse plays an important role in the broader tobacco supply chain and has various industrial applications.

Production process

Tobacco refuse is generated during the harvesting, curing, and processing of tobacco leaves. After the primary tobacco leaves are removed, the remaining plant material is collected and processed. This may involve drying, sorting, and compacting the refuse into bales or other forms for storage and transportation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the tobacco refuse industry are the non-leaf parts of the tobacco plant, which are generated as a byproduct of tobacco cultivation and processing. Additionally, machinery and equipment may be needed for the collection, processing, and packaging of the tobacco refuse.

Production outputs

Tobacco refuse has several potential uses, including as a fuel source, as a raw material for the production of 240310 Agglomerated tobacco and tobacco extracts and essences, or as a fertilizer. The tobacco refuse industry may also supply 240120 Tobacco, partly or wholly stemmed/stripped and other tobacco products as its outputs.
