Import Tips
• Verify nicotine content and tobacco origin documentation to comply with FDA tobacco product regulations and avoid reclassification
• Ensure labeling meets TPD requirements including health warnings; common pitfall is insufficient proof of 'no combustion' design
• Obtain prior notice via FDA system for tobacco imports; watch quota limits if applicable from certain countries
