Import Tips
• Provide origin verification and moisture content cert; Malawi quota (12,000 MT) fills quickly—enter early in fiscal period
• Segregate from leaf shipments; common error is dust contamination leading to refuse downgrade
• Consult USTR regulations for quota tracking; FTZ entries may not qualify as 'direct import' per Note 5(d)
