Import Tips
• Declare intended use (e.g
• pipe filler) but note U.S
• Note 5(e) for hand-rolled cigarette prep to avoid cigarette-specific quotas
• Use chapter 98 for small duty-free samples during product development
• Avoid commingling with flue-cured types in shipment to prevent average classification issues
