TobaccoImporter Assessments

This document proposes to amend the definition of de minimis special entries in the tobacco program regulations which applies to the collection of the ``budget deficit'' and ``no-net-cost'' assessments on certain kinds of imported tobacco. The current de minimis special entries definition exempts entries of unmanufactured imported tobacco of 5 kilograms or less if certain conditions are met. This document proposes to raise the maximum allowable weight to 100 kilograms to save administrative cost without compromising the purpose of the exemption.
