Import Tips
• Verify packaging meets 'prepared for marketing to ultimate consumer' criteria per U.S. notes, with retail labeling intact
• Include FDA tobacco product registration and health warning label compliance documentation
• Avoid quota subheadings like 2403.19.60; confirm non-quota eligibility to prevent reclassification
