Import Tips

• Document end-use as 'for hand-rolled consumer cigarettes' per note 5(e) to qualify; industrial cigarette production may trigger higher duties

• Track aggregate annual imports per country (e.g

• 3,000 MT Philippines); use CBP regulations for quota apportionment

• Avoid bulk packaging over retail intent; pitfall is reclassification if not 'prepared for ultimate consumer' per chapter notes
