Import Tips & Compliance

• Include commercial invoices specifying per-unit value under 15¢ and production method to support 'other' classification

• Comply with ATF labeling for tobacco products and ensure no child labor issues in supply chain per U.S. customs scrutiny

• Watch for quota restrictions on certain tobacco origins; use chapter US notes to confirm eligibility
