Import Tips & Compliance

Provide photos or samples proving broom corn material to CBP, as visual inspection confirms vegetable twig binding

Declare exact unit value prominently; undervaluation leads to penalties under 9603.10.60.00

Check for FSC certification if marketing as sustainable, but ensure it doesn't alter material classification
