Import Tips
• Confirm flue-cured Burley composition via lab testing; misidentification as Oriental tobacco shifts classification
• Enter only under quota provisions—overages face higher duties; track withdrawals from warehouse carefully
• Label as 'for further manufacturing' to avoid reclassification as retail-ready under 'prepared for marketing to ultimate consumer'
