Import Tips
• Document processing method (e.g
• paper process reconstitution) and non-cigarette end-use to support classification
• Avoid retail-style packaging that could trigger 'prepared for marketing to ultimate consumer' under other subheadings
• Confirm exclusion from cigarette tobacco quotas via affidavits if claiming lower rates
