Import Tips
• Verify origin against U.S
• Note quotas (e.g
• 80,200 MT for Brazil); exceedances shift to higher duties
• Provide certificates of origin and leaf analysis to confirm <35% wrapper content and unstemmed state
• Avoid misclassification as stemmed tobacco (2401.20); stems must be intact for this code
