Import Tips

• Include processing details for gimping to confirm it remains classified as horsehair yarn, not a woven fabric

• Declare horsehair separately from excluded horsehair in heading 0511 (raw, for brush-making)

• Bond may be required if entered under special provisions, though not typically 'wool for special uses'
