Import Tips
• Include lab analysis confirming tobacco-glycerol mix to prevent misclassification as herbal shisha
• Declare exact origin; pre-1995 exports from quota countries may qualify for special rates per U.S
• Note (d)
• Avoid bulk imports without retail packaging to maintain 'prepared for consumer' status
