Import Tips
• Submit end-user declarations specifying cigar filler use to qualify under 'products other than cigarettes' per U.S. notes
• Test for glycerol or flavorings; presence could shift to 2403.11 if water pipe tobacco
• Monitor annual quotas closing September 12; use Chapter 98 for duty-free samples without quota impact
