Import Tips
• Obtain origin certificates confirming Ecuadorian growth, as quotas vary by country under U.S
• Notes
• Label bales clearly as 'wrapper tobacco >35%' to prevent customs disputes on classification
• Monitor aggregate annual quotas (e.g
• 80,200 MT for Brazil, similar for Ecuador) to avoid over-quota duties
