Frequently Asked Questions

Are pig bristle imports from China subject to Section 301 tariffs?

Yes. Imports of pigs', hogs', and boars' bristles and hair from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current applicable list and rate with CBP or a licensed customs broker, as Section 301 coverage and rates are subject to ongoing review and modification.

What distinguishes bristles classified under 050210 from animal hair classified in Chapter 51 or 53?

Chapter 5 heading 050210 covers coarse bristles and hair from pigs, hogs, and boars used primarily in brush manufacturing. Fine animal hair suitable for textile spinning (such as certain specialty fibers) is classified in Chapter 51. The key distinction is the coarseness and intended industrial use — brush-making bristles are too coarse for textile processing and are specifically enumerated in Chapter 5.
