Import Tips
• Verify the broom qualifies as 'upright' with a self-standing bundle design; push brooms may shift to other subheadings
• Include material composition certificates for natural fibers like corn to avoid reclassification under synthetic brush headings
• Label as household use only; industrial brooms risk classification in Chapter 82 if deemed tools
