Important Considerations:
- Bristle Material: The key determinant is the bristle material. If the brushes use synthetic bristles (e.g., nylon, polyester), a different HS code might be more appropriate, but is not available in the reference data.
- Brush Value: If the individual brush value exceeds 5¢, HS code 9603.30.20.00 is not applicable.
- Intended Use: Confirm whether the brushes are specifically marketed as artist brushes or for general painting purposes.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide documentation verifying the bristle material and composition.
- Post-April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the increased tariffs that will take effect after April 2, 2025.
