Import Tips
• Confirm curing method via processing records; 'fire-cured' is key for this narrow subheading
• Pre-1995 exported stock may qualify for special rates under U.S. note (d) with direct import proof
• Separate from cigarette tobacco in manifests to prevent aggregation under quota-limited subheadings
