Import Tips
• Provide processing records showing waste separation from finished goods to justify Chapter 5 classification over Chapter 96
• Check for contamination; clean waste must still qualify as 'hair waste' without chemical treatment
• Use bulk packaging to avoid retail set misclassification; declare as industrial raw material
