Import Tips
• Verify the brush value exceeds 40¢ per unit with invoices; undervaluation leads to CBP reclassification and penalties
• Include material composition labels (e.g
• boar bristle, nylon) for FDA cosmetic accessory compliance
• Avoid misclassifying as a set if sold with combs; separate HTS for components
