Import Tips

Verify end-use declaration as non-cigarette (e.g

pipe or chewing tobacco) with supporting documentation to avoid reclassification

Check US aggregate tobacco import quotas under Additional US Note 5; Burley from specified countries like Brazil may have limits

Ensure proper labeling of tobacco type and origin; provide reconstitution process certificates to confirm HTS fit
