Import Tips

• Verify entry falls within U.S

• Note 5 quantitative limits (e.g

• 80,200 MT for Brazil) with proper origin documentation to avoid reclassification

• Provide certificates of flue-curing method and threshing process; common pitfall is exceeding aggregate quotas leading to higher duties

• Exclude Canadian, Israeli, or Mexican origins as they bypass these subheadings per U.S. notes
