Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'for pipe use only' to distinguish from cigarette tobacco and prevent misclassification
• Submit affidavits confirming end-use in non-cigarette products, as per U.S. notes for hand-rolled preparations
• Ensure documentation traces origin to avoid quota exclusions for Canada, Israel, or Mexico products
