Import Tips
• Verify packaging meets 'prepared for marketing to ultimate consumer' criteria with retail labeling and no need for repackaging
• Include FDA tobacco product registration and ingredient listing to avoid holds; common pitfall is missing health warnings
• Monitor US quota limits under Additional US Note 5 for origin countries to prevent over-quota duties
