Import Tips
• Verify origin country quota availability under US Note 5 before shipment to avoid excess duty
• Provide certification of oriental type and wrapper content (<35%) to confirm 2401.20.26.00 classification
• Avoid threshed processing to prevent reclassification; declare as partly stemmed only
