Last updated: April 2026 dataCleaning and application tools — from household brooms and feather dusters to industrial brushes that serve as machine components — are grouped here based on their bristle, fiber, or pad construction rather than end-use sector. Brushes that are integral parts of machinery or vehicles are included, making this a cross-sector category relevant to both consumer goods importers and industrial equipment suppliers. Natural-bristle brushes sourced from animal hair may require additional documentation, while synthetic-fiber versions are generally straightforward from a regulatory standpoint.

Under SITC 89972, brushes that function as parts of machines or vehicles are explicitly included. However, classification can depend on whether the brush is presented separately or as part of a complete machine assembly — importers should review the specific context with a customs broker to confirm the correct heading.
Brushes made with animal-hair bristles (e.g., hog bristle, horsehair) may be subject to USDA APHIS review depending on the species and country of origin, particularly to address animal disease concerns. Synthetic-fiber brushes generally do not carry these requirements.
