Last updated: August 2026 dataBroomcorn brooms — a traditional US agricultural product — receive some of the most granular tariff-rate-quota treatment in the entire HTS schedule, with multiple 10-digit lines under 9603100000 distinguishing whisk brooms from full-sized brooms, value thresholds (above or below $0.96 each), and annual quota volume triggers (e.g., 61,655 dozen and 121,478 dozen calendar-year thresholds). Mexico is the dominant supplier, with Sri Lanka and China also significant sources. Importers must track cumulative annual import volumes carefully, as exceeding quota thresholds shifts applicable duty rates mid-year.

The quota thresholds for broomcorn whisk brooms (e.g., the 61,655-dozen annual trigger) are administered by US Customs and Border Protection. Once cumulative imports of qualifying brooms reach the threshold in a given calendar year, subsequent entries shift to a higher-duty tariff line. Importers should monitor CBP's quota bulletin board and coordinate with their customs broker to time entries appropriately, particularly late in the calendar year when thresholds may be near exhaustion.
The $0.96-per-unit value threshold that separates several broomcorn tariff lines is based on the transaction value (or customs value) of the brooms as entered. Importers must support their declared value with a commercial invoice showing the unit price, and CBP may request additional documentation — such as purchase orders or price lists — if the declared value appears inconsistent with market norms. Accurate per-unit valuation is critical because misclassification between the above- and below-threshold lines can result in both duty underpayment and quota misallocation.
