HS code 2402.20 · Chapter 24
Cigarettes containing tobacco
Cigarettes containing tobacco.
Current duty on this code
Base most-favoured-nation duty, pulled from the official tariff schedule when the destination publishes one. It does not include country-specific additional tariffs — for a US import those (Section 301, the 2025 reciprocal measures) can dwarf the base rate, and Kustaro shows them separately on a real classification.
