Horse Mane Brushmaking Hair from Japan
Selected horse mane hair used specifically for fine brushmaking, softer than tail hair for artist brushes. Although horsehair is noted in 0511, this pure brushmaking quality fits HTS 0502.90.00.00 as 'other brushmaking hair' when not layered or wasted. Bundled for direct use in luxury brush production.

Import Tips
• Differentiate from 0511 horsehair waste by providing proof of brushmaking end-use and sorting
• Include hygiene certificates as animal hair imports face biosecurity scrutiny
• Package in ventilated bundles to prevent mold, a common rejection reason
