Reed Angler Creel Basket from Germany
A handcrafted creel from reed plaiting materials, directly shaped for fly fishing excursions to transport trout. Reeds are a plaiting material under Chapter 46 Note 1, and the creel is made directly to shape, not from bound strands. It is not a handbag, trunk, or pannier, so it falls under 'Other' in tariff item 4602.19.99.

Import Tips
• Verify the creel is made directly to shape from reed strips, not from pre-bound sheets, as that would change classification
• Declare the material as reed (a vegetable plaiting material) and provide details on the weaving process if requested
• Ensure the creel is not designed as a handbag, which would fall under a sibling item
