Import Tips
• Verify each cigar's individual value exceeds 23¢ with supplier invoices to confirm HTS 2402.10.80.80 classification
• Include FDA tobacco product registration and labeling compliance; ensure packaging meets US retail standards
• Avoid misclassification as cheaper machine-made cigars (2402.10.80.20) by documenting handmade construction
