Import Tips
• Verify country of origin quotas (e.g
• 80,200 MT for Brazil, 12,000 MT for Malawi) as exceeding limits triggers higher duties
• Provide end-use certification proving non-cigarette application to avoid reclassification to cigarette tobacco subheadings
• Include lab tests confirming no wrapper tobacco content over 35% and proper stemming documentation
