Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify blending ratios and processing stage with invoices to confirm 'partially manufactured' status and avoid reclassification as finished retail product
• Include certificates of origin to check eligibility under U.S. tobacco quota limits if from specified countries like Brazil or Zimbabwe
• Ensure no retail packaging or labeling is present, as this could shift classification to other 2403 subheadings
