Willow Flower Basket from Japan
A decorative oval basket from willow plaits for floral arrangements or market flowers, with twisted handles. Willow is a plaiting material under Chapter 46 Note 1, and the basket is made directly to shape from these strips. It is not a handbag, trunk, or pannier, so it falls under 'Other' in tariff item 4602.19.99.

Import Tips
• Verify the basket 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 basket is not designed as a handbag, which would fall under a sibling item
