Import Tips

• Verify origin against U.S

• Note quotas (e.g

• limited tons for most countries excluding Canada/Mexico); exceedance shifts to higher duties

• Provide documentation proving use in non-cigarette products (e.g

• affidavits for pipe/roll-your-own tobacco) to avoid reclassification

• Include lab analysis confirming dark air-cured type and stem composition; threshed but not cigarette-grade
