Import Tips

• Verify hair origin with supplier certificates to comply with CITES if mixed with protected species, though pure human hair is exempt

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'unworked, unwashed' status to prevent misclassification as processed hair

• Check for waste content; pure unworked hair avoids higher scrutiny on sanitary imports
