Import Tips

• Verify origin country quota availability under Additional U.S

• Note 5 (e.g

• 12,000 MT for Zimbabwe) before shipment to avoid reclassification

• Provide export documentation proving entry pursuant to Note 5 provisions; include flue-cured certification from supplier

• Label packages clearly as 'for pipe use' to prevent misclassification as cigarette tobacco; watch aggregate annual quotas
