Import Tips
• Verify the whiskbroom is wholly or partly broom corn with no synthetic additions to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of origin for vegetable materials to qualify for preferential tariff treatments
• Ensure valuation documentation supports 'over 96¢ each' to prevent customs undervaluation disputes
