Import Tips
• Include end-use statements specifying chewing tobacco production to distinguish from cigarette or retail products
• Ensure no additives that would qualify as 'tobacco extracts/essences' under 2403.10, maintaining pure reconstituted classification
• Monitor U.S
• Note 5 quotas for originating countries; use Chapter 98 for duty-free samples
