Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify brush hair type and value per unit exceeds 10¢ with invoices; undervaluation leads to CBP reclassification
• Label as 'artist's brush' distinctly from cosmetic or paint roller brushes to avoid misclassification
• Provide certificates of origin for natural hair (e.g
• sable) to comply with CITES if applicable for protected species
