Import Tips

• Document threshing process to distinguish from manufactured products; avoid 2404 catch-all for any further treatment

• Confirm country-specific quotas (e.g

• 12,000 MT Malawi); common error is aggregate miscalculation across EU origins

• Prepared for hand-rolled cigarettes? Still classifiable here unless marketed as final consumer product
