Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit cure-type analysis certificates; flue-cured must match Virginia profile to avoid burley reclass
• Pre-1995 export documentation allows quota bypass per US Note (d); retain for claims
• Declare exact end-use in entry summary to comply with 'products other than cigarettes' restriction
