Import Tips

Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving no pests or diseases, as agricultural tobacco imports face strict inspections

Track aggregate quota usage for origin countries (e.g

80,200 MT for Brazil) via USTR reports before shipping

Avoid common pitfall of incomplete stemming documentation, which can lead to reclassification and higher duties
