Import Tips
• Verify origin certificates for each tobacco type to prove mixing of two or more countries as required for this subheading
• Monitor U.S
• Note quotas for specific countries like Brazil; exceedances may trigger higher duties
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no threshing has occurred; threshed blends go to 2401.20.33
