Import Tips

• Verify origin country against U.S

• Note quotas (e.g

• 10,750 MT aggregate); exceeding limits triggers higher duties

• Provide lab certification confirming Virginia fire-cure processing to avoid misclassification as generic refuse

• Ensure documentation distinguishes refuse from leaf tobacco to prevent reclassification under 2401.10 or 2401.20
