Import Tips
• Provide packing lists specifying unit value and quantity to confirm eligibility under the 'not over 40¢' threshold during customs valuation
• Ensure bristles are securely attached; loose components may be seen as parts, risking reclassification away from finished brushes
• Test for lead/phthalate content in plastic and bristles to meet CPSC standards for personal care imports
