Import Tips
• Confirm air-curing method documentation to distinguish from flue-cured types; supports proper 2401.10 placement
• Check aggregate EC quota (9,956 MT) if sourced from European origins; track annual usage to prevent overage penalties
• Label clearly as 'blackfat' variety with moisture content details to pass CBP inspection without delays
