Import Tips

• Verify CITES compliance if bristles originate from regions with boar populations under wildlife protection; obtain export permits if required

• Document sorting method to confirm no 'working' beyond length separation per Chapter 5 notes, avoiding reclassification as processed goods

• Label shipments clearly as 'raw bristles and waste' to prevent customs confusion with finished brushes under Chapter 96
