Import Tips

Aggregate quota applies (e.g

80,200 MT Brazil); track via CBP for over-quota higher rates

Provide origin certificates; post-1995 exports ineligible for legacy low-duty unless direct import documented

Separate stems from any leaf scraps during inspection to maintain pure refuse classification
