Import Tips

• Label shipments clearly as 'whole stems, not cut/ground'; mismatches lead to reclassification and penalties

• Track aggregate annual entries per country; Brazil/others have strict limits excluding Canada/Israel/Mexico

• For pre-1995 exports, use special direct-import provisions under Note 5(d) with Treasury docs
