Import Tips
• Ensure the creel is made directly to shape from raffia strips, not from pre-bound sheets, to avoid misclassification
• Declare the material as raffia (a vegetable plaiting material) and be ready to show the construction method
• Verify the creel is not a handbag, which would be classified under a sibling item
