Import Tips
• Include lab analysis confirming dark air-curing characteristics and absence of cigarette-grade processing
• Declare exact intended end-use (e.g
• chewing tobacco) on entry documents to comply with subheading requirements
• Check against US Note 1 quotas for Tennessee-sourced dark tobacco; early-season imports face stricter scrutiny
