Import Tips

• Verify origin country quotas under US Note 2 to avoid excess duty rates; Burley from non-quota countries like Canada is exempt

• Include lab certification of Burley tobacco type and manufacturing process to confirm classification outside cigarette or homogenized categories

• Label packages clearly as 'Burley pipe tobacco' for retail to meet 'prepared for marketing to ultimate consumer' requirements
