Import Tips

• Include origin certification and curing logs; U.S

• Customs scrutinizes fire-cured vs. flue-cured claims

• Monitor annual quota periods (Sept 13-Sept 12); excess enters at higher general rates

• Label as 'not for retail sale' to avoid chapter note shifting to heading 2404 if processed
