Import Tips
• Document chain of custody to prove direct import from origin; warehouse withdrawals count toward quota
• Exclude Canada/Israel/Mexico products as they bypass these subheadings per U.S
• Note 5(b)
• Label fiber content and intended use to prevent shifts to cigarette-specific codes like 2403.19
