Import Tips
• Verify origin country against U.S
• Note quotas (e.g
• 80,200 MT for Brazil); products from Canada/Israel/Mexico exempt
• Provide phytosanitary certificates and leaf grade inspections to avoid reclassification as manufactured tobacco
• Avoid common pitfalls like exceeding annual aggregate limits (Sep 13-Sep 12) leading to higher duties
