Bleached Willow Osier Reeds from Japan
Bleached willow osier reeds, cut to length and bleached for uniform color, are vegetable materials primarily used for plaiting chair seats and decorative weaving. The bleaching treatment is expressly permitted under the chapter notes for heading 14.01, and the product is not excluded by Section XI as it is not suitable for textile manufacture.

Import Tips
• Ensure the osier is declared as a vegetable plaiting material, not a textile fibre, to avoid misclassification
• Keep records of the bleaching process to confirm it is for colour uniformity, not textile preparation
• Verify the goods are free of pests and comply with CFIA plant health import requirements
