Import Tips

• Verify the value exceeds $4.50 per gross with commercial invoices to avoid reclassification to lower-duty codes

• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with FTC guidelines for hair care accessories

• Conduct material testing to confirm 100% plastic composition, avoiding metal parts that shift classification
