Import Tips
• Verify FDA tobacco product registration and premarket authorization if applicable; chewing tobacco requires specific health warnings on packaging
• Include detailed ingredient lists and manufacturing details in documentation to confirm classification as chewing tobacco, not snuff
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling moisture content, which could shift classification to other subheadings
