Import Tips
• Include phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA requirements for unmanufactured tobacco imports
• Declare exact type (e.g
• Maryland 36 or broadleaf) and curing process to match statistical suffix .80
• Watch for quota exhaustion under US Note (a); consider chapter 98 samples or pre-1995 exports for relief
