Import Tips
• Verify origin country quotas under U.S
• Note 5 to avoid excess duty rates; Burley from non-quota countries may face higher tariffs
• Provide lab analysis confirming Burley varietal and reconstituted nature to prevent misclassification as unmanufactured tobacco
• Ensure documentation shows it's not prepared for retail sale to qualify under this subheading rather than consumer-packaged goods
