Import Tips
• Verify reconstitution process documentation to confirm classification as homogenized tobacco under heading 2403, avoiding misclassification as unmanufactured
• Include lab analysis showing no additives for retail cigarette use to stay within quota-exempt subheadings
• Label packages clearly as industrial blending material to prevent retail misinterpretation and FDA scrutiny
