Import Tips
• Verify origin country against U.S. tobacco quotas; Burley from quota nations like Brazil may face limits under related subheadings
• Include detailed composition certificates showing Burley dominance to avoid reclassification as generic smoking tobacco
• Label packages clearly as pipe tobacco to prevent confusion with cigarette or water pipe products
