Import Tips
• Provide proof of Zimbabwean origin and ensure aggregate entries do not exceed the 12,000 MT quota period
• Label as 'for pipe use' to distinguish from cigarette tobacco; maintain records for quota tracking
• Avoid mixing with quota-exempt origins like Canada to prevent reclassification of the entire shipment
