Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin country quota availability under Additional U.S
• Note 5 (e.g
• 80,200 MT for Brazil) before shipment; excess enters at higher rates
• Provide lab certification confirming Burley type, flue-cured/light air-cured, and no wrapper tobacco over 35% to avoid reclassification
• Exclude Canadian/Israeli/Mexican origins as they bypass these subheadings; use Chapter 98 for duty-free samples
