Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin country against U.S
• Note quotas (e.g
• Brazil 80,200 MT) to avoid over-quota duties; exclude Canada/Israel/Mexico products
• Provide certification that stems are for non-cigarette products like snuff or chewing tobacco, with documentation on sun-curing process
• Ensure stems are truly not cut/ground/pulverized; common pitfall is misclassification as processed refuse under 2401.30.35
