Import Tips & Compliance

Declare specific non-cigarette end-use (chewing/snuff) with affidavits to comply with subheading requirements

Track country-specific quotas (e.g

12,000 MT for Zimbabwe); use Chapter 98 for duty-free samples

Avoid retail packaging that implies consumer-ready form, as it may shift to other subheadings
