Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming no pests, as Burley is susceptible to blue mold issues at entry
• Declare exact stemming percentage on entry docs; partial stemming must be evidenced to qualify under this code
• Monitor US Note 2 quotas—excess imports from quota countries like Malawi reroute to higher general rates
