Import Tips & Compliance

Verify value exceeds $4.50 per gross with commercial invoice to qualify under this subheading; undervaluation risks reclassification

Provide material composition certificate confirming hard rubber (vulcanized) to avoid confusion with plastic combs

Ensure no electrical components, as those fall under heading 8516; declare as non-heated grooming tools
