Import Tips & Compliance

Verify origin documentation to ensure compliance with US Note quota limits for non-FTA countries like those exceeding aggregate quantities

Provide lab certification confirming flue-cured Maryland type and wrapper content under 35% to avoid reclassification

Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as stemmed (2401.20) which changes duty rates; use chapter 98 for duty-free samples
