Import Tips
• Verify the broom is wholly or partly broom corn via supplier certification to confirm HTS 9603.10.60.00 classification
• Include detailed value invoices showing unit price >96¢ to avoid reclassification to lower-value subheadings
• Ensure no synthetic fibers are added, as that could shift to 9603.90 headings; common pitfall is misdeclared composition
