Import Tips

• Verify origin from quota-eligible countries (e.g

• Brazil, Zimbabwe) and obtain U.S

• Trade Representative license before September 13 annual period

• Provide lab certification confirming Virginia sun-cured type, stems not cut/ground/pulverized, and compliance with Additional U.S

• Note 5 quantities

• Avoid misclassification as cut stems (2401.30.35); common pitfall is exceeding aggregate quotas leading to higher duties
