Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the tobacco is explicitly labeled as partially manufactured and not retail-ready to avoid reclassification under consumer packaging notes
• Provide origin certificates and blending ratios to comply with U.S. quota limits under additional notes for non-FTA countries
• Ensure documentation shows end-use in non-cigarette products like pipes to prevent misclassification as cigarette tobacco
