Import Tips
• Verify origin documentation to ensure compliance with U.S. tobacco import quotas under Additional U.S
• Note 5
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming it's cigar leaf refuse, not reprocessed tobacco
• Avoid misclassification as stems (2401.30.03); common pitfall is lacking proof of cigar leaf source
