Import Tips
• Document source animal (e.g
• bovine tail) to confirm coarse classification; lab tests for foreign matter essential
• Use bonds if destined for special uses like felts to defer higher duties, per US note (d)
• Avoid pitfalls by separating from bristle hair (0502); declare as clean kg basis
