Import Tips

• Conduct value assessment per gross (144 units) and include packing lists to support over-$4.50 classification

• Label products clearly as 'hard rubber combs' and test for rubber hardness to distinguish from softer plastics

• Check for country-of-origin marking requirements; hard rubber imports often need 'Made in [Country]' etching
