Import Tips

• Source from quota-eligible countries like Brazil (80,200 MT limit); document export date for legacy provisions

• Test for glycerol/molasses; presence could reclassify toward water pipe tobacco exclusions

• Use NAICS codes for snuff manufacturers on entry docs to support non-cigarette claim
