Import Tips
• Verify the product is explicitly labeled or documented as 'homogenized/reconstituted tobacco for non-cigarette use' to avoid reclassification into cigarette tobacco subheadings
• Provide manufacturer affidavits confirming end-use in pipe or chewing tobacco to comply with quota restrictions and duty preferences
• Check origin-specific quantitative limits under U.S
• Note 5; exceedances may trigger higher duties or denial of entry
