Import Tips & Compliance
• Include lab analysis confirming particle size (ground/pulverized) and non-cigarette end-use to support classification
• Check U.S
• Note quotas for origins like Philippines or Thailand; exceedance triggers higher general rates
• Label shipments clearly as 'tobacco stems for snuff' to avoid CBP scrutiny as unmanufactured leaf
