Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin country against US aggregate quotas (e.g
• 3,000 MT for 'other countries'); exceedance shifts to higher duty subheadings
• Provide documentation proving end-use in non-cigarette products (e.g
• affidavits from buyer) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure stems are truly 'not cut, ground, or pulverized' via lab inspection; minimal processing allowed but avoid stems resembling strips
