Import Tips
• Label 'not for use in cigarettes' clearly; CBP may test shred size to distinguish from cigarette filler
• Track calendar quota period (Sep 13-Sep 12) and file under correct country allocation
• Maintain chain-of-custody docs proving non-cigarette end-use to prevent 2403.10 reclassification
