Import Tips
• Track aggregate annual imports against Brazil's quota; use CBP's quota tracking system to avoid over-quota duties
• Exclude Canadian/Israeli/Mexican origin products, as they are not subject to Note 5 limits
• Document as 'not for cigarette use' if applicable to qualify under hand-rolled provisions
