 Submission of Tobacco Products for Tax ClassificationQ: How much sample should I send? A: Generally, one unopened consumer package of the product is sufficient. (For example, one pack of cigarettes or one tin of snuff.) For cigars or cigarettes, a minimum of 10 sticks should be submitted. For ground and leaf tobacco products where a consumer size package is not available, 500 grams is usually sufficient. Q: How should I send the samples? A: All sample products must be sealed in airtight bags and must include a cover letter providing contact information, and if possible, the intended use of the product. Samples considered evidence must be sent via express courier. Q: Where should I send the samples? A: All samples must be sent to the following address: Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau Q. Who should I contact regarding the submission of samples, and the status of samples I’ve already sent? A: The Regulations and Rulings Division at (202) 927-8210. PLEASE NOTE - The laboratory does not analyze tobacco samples for consumer complaints unless associated with a potential counterfeit product.
