Import Tips
• Verify rags show clear signs of appreciable wear (stains, fraying) to qualify under 6310; clean rags may shift to Chapter 63 headings
• Enter in bulk bales or sacks without sorting by fiber type to meet 'rags' definition; provide waste origin certificates
• Avoid mixing with worn clothing (6309) or new scrap (6310.90.40); inspect for prohibited contaminants like oils
