Import Tips

• Label shipments clearly as 'Burley stems for pipe tobacco' with end-use certificates to comply with 'products other than cigarettes' requirement

• Monitor annual quota usage via USTR; pre-1995 exports may qualify for special rates if documented properly

• Avoid packaging resembling retail consumer packs, as 'prepared for marketing to ultimate consumer' triggers different subheadings
