Import Tips

• Bundle with end-user letters specifying 'for chewing tobacco manufacture' to support classification

• Track country-specific quotas (e.g

• Brazil 80,200 MT) to avoid over-limit surcharges

• Inspect for threshing uniformity; incomplete processing risks shift to less processed headings
