Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify U.S. leaf tobacco content ≥30% by weight with supplier certification and lab testing to qualify under note 31(a)

• Monitor annual quantitative limits (e.g

• 1.6M units in 2014) via USTR Federal Register notices; apply early

• Maintain detailed records of tobacco origin blend; avoid drawback-exported goods per chapter exclusions
