Import Tips
• Provide fire-curing process documentation to distinguish from flue-cured types and support Burley classification
• Check against quantitative limits in US Note 2(a) for origins like Malawi or Philippines
• Use proper HTS for retail packs to avoid reclassification as unmanufactured under 2401
