Import Tips

• Verify origin country against US Note quota limits (e.g

• 10,750 MT aggregate); exceedances trigger higher duties

• Provide certification of wrapper content (>35%) and Connecticut Shade variety to avoid reclassification

• Ensure phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA APHIS requirements for unmanufactured tobacco imports
