Import Tips
• Verify unit value with commercial invoice; CBP assesses based on transaction value excluding retail packaging
• Provide FDA prior notice and ingredient lists as tobacco products require health claim documentation
• Avoid misclassification by confirming handmade status; machine-made fall under different subheadings
