Willow Fishing Creel from Mexico
A traditional hand-woven creel made directly from willow plaiting materials, designed to carry fish during angling. Willow is 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 willow strips, not from pre-bound sheets, as that would change classification
• Declare the material as willow (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
