Import Tips
• Provide CAD drawings showing clip mechanism to prove it's a hair-slide, not a general plastic fastener
• Avoid retail packaging with decorative elements that could imply gem settings, triggering higher scrutiny
• Document end-use as hair accessory to prevent shift to Chapter 39 closures/fasteners
