Import Tips
• Submit moisture content certificates (<15% typical for refuse) and sieve analysis for dust classification
• Track aggregate imports under U.S
• Note limits by origin to qualify for in-quota rates
• Label clearly as 'tobacco refuse' to prevent confusion with threshed leaf under 2401.30.35
