Import Tips
• Submit detailed grading reports specifying 'Virginia sun-cured' and refuse metrics to avoid over-quota duties
• Exclude Canadian, Israeli, or Mexican origins from quota subheadings per U.S
• Note 5(b)
• Package in bulk for non-retail; retail-ready forms may trigger 'prepared for consumer' reclassification
