Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for snuff/chewing tobacco only' with buyer affidavits to confirm non-cigarette use
• Monitor U.S
• Trade Rep regulations on quantitative limits; pre-1995 exports may qualify for special rates
• Conduct moisture content checks; excessive drying can lead to refuse classification under 2401.30
