Import Tips
• Verify origin country quota limits under U.S
• Note 5; Maryland tobacco from non-quota countries may face restrictions
• Provide documentation certifying use in non-cigarette products like pipe tobacco to avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper stemming/stripping processing records; unprocessed leaves fall under different subheadings
