Import Tips
• Dominican Republic falls under 'Other countries' quota; track aggregate imports to avoid over-quota surcharges
• Label bales clearly as 'Cigar Filler - Not for Wrapper Use' to prevent CBP misclassification during inspection
• Maintain chain-of-custody documentation showing destination to licensed U.S. cigar manufacturers
