Import Tips
• Include curing method certification to distinguish from flue-cured types and ensure correct subheading placement
• Aggregate quota tracking required for countries like Brazil or Zimbabwe; consult USTR regulations
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests further processing, as it must remain in import-ready consumer form
