Import Tips
• Verify the handle is solely wooden with no attached ferrules or bristles to avoid reclassification under Chapter 96
• Provide mill certificates confirming wood species origin to comply with Lacey Act requirements
• Label clearly as 'paintbrush handle' to distinguish from general broom handles under 4417.00.20
