Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin against US quota limits for non-FTA countries; Maryland tobacco from quota nations like Brazil may face aggregate restrictions
• Provide lab certification confirming 'Maryland' type via chemical markers and not cigarette-grade to avoid reclassification
• Ensure labeling specifies 'for pipe/roll-your-own use only' to comply with 'products other than cigarettes' subheading
