Import Tips

• Verify origin documentation as imports from quota countries like Brazil or Argentina are subject to annual quantitative limits under U.S

• Note 2

• Ensure leaves are not threshed or similarly processed; provide certificates of analysis confirming over 35% wrapper tobacco content

• Avoid misclassification as cigarette tobacco; common pitfall is entering under general unmanufactured codes without specifying wrapper type
