Import Tips

Request advance Customs classification ruling specifying 'Virginia sun-cured stems, pulverized' to prevent exam delays

Document direct import from origin pre-1995 for legacy quota eligibility per Note 5(d); no warehouse withdrawals qualify

Avoid bulk mixing with other refuse types, as variety-specific suffix requires segregation
