Chapter 05: Products of animal origin
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 050210 when importing or exporting hair and bristles from pigs, hogs, or boars. This includes products like bristle brushes made from these materials. For instance, a shipment of brushes used in painting or cleaning that contain pig bristles should be classified under this code.
This code specifically covers animal hair and bristles, distinguishing it from other animal-origin products. For example, HS-6 050211 covers similar products made from horsehair, which is not included in this line. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate classification.
The 050210 line also includes waste materials from processing these hairs, which can be relevant for manufacturers and suppliers dealing with by-products. If you're handling waste bristles or hair trimmings, this code applies as well.
When considering imports, ensure that your products are clearly labeled and documented to avoid misclassification. This can help streamline customs clearance and prevent delays.
