Import Tips & Compliance
• Document bristle material as synthetic to distinguish from natural fiber brooms in 9603.10; test for compliance
• Ensure handle is integral; separate handles may classify under 9603.90 other or plastics chapters
• Avoid marketing as 'machine part' to prevent shift to machinery headings in Chapter 84
