Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin country against U.S. tobacco import quotas (e.g
• limited tons from Brazil, Zimbabwe) to avoid over-quota duties
• Provide Customs with processing certificates confirming 'threshed or similarly processed' status and cigar leaf origin
• Label shipments clearly as 'unmanufactured tobacco for cigar production' to prevent misclassification as cigarette tobacco
