Import Tips
• Verify flavoring agents and additives comply with FDA tobacco regulations; provide lab analysis for non-tobacco ingredients
• Ensure retail packaging labels origin, ingredients, and health warnings to avoid reclassification as unprepared tobacco
• Check quota applicability under US notes for certain origins; use Chapter 98 for duty-free samples
