Import Tips
• Include certificates of analysis confirming Virginia sun-cured type and refuse composition to meet subheading criteria
• Track annual quota usage by country (e.g
• 12,000 MT for Zimbabwe); use Chapter 98 for duty-free samples
• Ensure no commingling with flue-cured types, as misidentification leads to reclassification and penalties
