Import Tips & Compliance

• Include certificates of analysis specifying Burley content and reconstitution process to distinguish from wrapper tobacco

• Monitor aggregate quota limits for specified countries; excess imports revert to higher general rates

• Label shipments clearly as industrial intermediate, not consumer product, to avoid reclassification
