Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct particle size testing to confirm 'ground or pulverized' status; overly fine powder risks reclassification
• Include certificates of analysis specifying sun-curing method and non-cigarette end-use to support entry
• Monitor aggregate import quotas per country; Brazil and Zimbabwe have high limits but require precise tracking
