Import Tips
• Verify country of origin quotas under U.S
• Note 5; Brazil and Argentina have high limits but require tracking aggregate entries
• Provide lab certification confirming no wrapper tobacco content over 35% and stemming without threshing
• Avoid misclassification by documenting processing level; stemmed but unthreshed qualifies here, threshed moves to 2401.10
