Import Tips
• Include technical specs on porosity and burn additives in commercial invoice to justify cigarette paper classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics general tissue; use clear labeling as 'cigarette paper' to prevent misclassification
• Check for FDA tobacco product regulations if destined for U.S. manufacturers; missing docs can delay clearance
