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
