Import Tips
• Verify clove content exceeds minimal thresholds for classification; obtain FDA tobacco product listing and warning label compliance
• Check U.S. import quotas for non-FTA countries and ensure packaging meets retail sale standards
• Common pitfall: misdeclaration as non-clove cigarettes leading to reclassification
