Import Tips

• Document synthetic nature of tobacco flavor to avoid 2404.12 classification; include GC-MS analysis reports

• Comply with state-specific flavor bans by checking end-use declarations

• Avoid bulk shipments without retail packaging, as 'prepared for marketing to ultimate consumer' affects duty treatment
