Import Tips
• Ensure packaging prevents dust contamination; CBP may reject entries with improper containment
• Submit affidavits from US blenders confirming non-cigarette end-use to support classification
• Track cumulative imports against 10,750 MT quota for dark air-cured categories to avoid over-limit duties
