Import Tips
• 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
