Bamboo Coastal Fishing Basket from Mexico
An open-weave bamboo basket designed for coastal crab or shellfish fishing, plaited directly to shape from bamboo strips. Bamboo is a plaiting material under Chapter 46, and the basket is not a handbag, trunk, or pannier, so it falls under this tariff item for baskets of interwoven vegetable fibres.

Import Tips
• Ensure the basket is not lined with leather or other non-vegetable materials, as that could change classification
• Declare the fibre content (bamboo) and intended use as fishing equipment to support the tariff item
• Keep commercial invoices with clear product photos for CBSA verification
