Import Tips
• Verify origin certificate confirming export from Brazil before quota period end to qualify under Note 5; exceeds 80,200 MT shifts to higher duty subheadings
• Provide detailed documentation distinguishing refuse (stems/dust) from unmanufactured leaf to avoid misclassification into 2401.10 or 2401.20
• Exclude Chapter 98 sample provisions unless separately claimed; track aggregate entries September 13 to September 12
