Import Tips
• Brazil-specific quota is high but monitored; file entries early in quota year and track via Customs
• Documentation must certify <35% wrapper and Burley variety; moisture content tests prevent refuse classification
• Direct import from origin required for pre-1995 stock eligibility; warehouse withdrawals count against quota
