Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin country eligibility under Additional U.S
• Note 5 (e.g
• Argentina quota 10,750 MT) and obtain USTR approval before entry
• Provide documentation proving it's Burley variety and entered pursuant to quota provisions; track aggregate annual imports to avoid over-quota duties
• Label packages clearly as 'Burley Tobacco for Pipe Use' to prevent misclassification as cigarette tobacco
