Import Tips

• Verify origin country against U.S

• Note quotas (e.g

• 80,200 MT for Brazil) and provide documentation proving non-cigarette end use

• Include certificates confirming Burley type and refuse composition (stems, dust) to avoid misclassification as leaf tobacco

• Avoid pitfalls by excluding Chapter 98 sample entries from quota calculations; ensure direct import if pre-1995 export
