Import Tips
• Honduras quota via 'Other countries' (3,000 MT); coordinate with other Central American suppliers
• Use moisture-proof packaging declarations; excessive drying may affect weight-based duties
• Label bales clearly as 'Filler Tobacco Only' to prevent mixing with wrapper during customs exam
