Import Tips
• Verify feather origin with supplier certificates to comply with CITES if using protected bird species
• Label products clearly as 'feather dusters' to avoid misclassification as toy items in Chapter 95
• Include material composition (e.g
• feathers, wood) on invoices to prevent scrutiny under general brush rules
