Import Tips
• Classify the flax as 'broken and scutched' to fall under 5301.29.00, not 5301.21.00 which covers only broken or scutched flax
• Document the scutching process and ensure the product is not spun
• Check if the flax qualifies for duty-free entry under a free trade agreement based on its origin
