Import Tips
• Check against US tobacco import quotas if from quota countries like Brazil or Zimbabwe; exceeding limits incurs higher duties
• Ensure packaging includes required Surgeon General warnings and nicotine content disclosures per FDA rules
• Document flavoring agents separately to prevent reclassification as flavored snuff under different subheadings
