Import Tips
• Document direct import from Malawi origin prior to quota period start; FTZ entries don't qualify as direct
• Separate quota entries from Chapter 98 sample imports to prevent double-counting
• Label as intended for non-cigarette use if applicable per Note 5(e) for hand-rolled cigarette tobacco
