Import Tips
• Include end-use declarations for broom/brush production to support valuation and prevent duty hikes
• Test for artificial fiber content; blends over 50% synthetic stay in Chapter 54 but require detailed composition
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion—declare as monofilament, not fabricated brush parts under 9603
