Import Tips
• Verify the tobacco is explicitly labeled for non-cigarette use with end-use documentation to avoid reclassification under cigarette-specific subheadings
• Provide certificates of origin and processing statements confirming reconstituted nature to comply with Chapter 24 notes and quota requirements
• Check quantitative import limits under US Note 5 for origin countries; exceedances may trigger higher duties or rejection
