Import Tips
• Verify origin country against U.S
• Note quotas (e.g
• Brazil 80,200 MT) to avoid over-quota duties; provide export certification
• Include lab analysis confirming <35% wrapper tobacco and flue-cured type; declare as not stemmed/stripped
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as stemmed (2401.20), which shifts to different subheading
