Import Tips
• Document absence of glycerol or molasses to distinguish from water pipe tobacco in 2403.11.00
• Use bulk packaging only; retail packs trigger 'prepared for consumer' rules under U.S. notes
• Check country-specific quotas, as aggregate limits apply to certain origins excluding Canada/Mexico
