Import Tips
• Confirm the hamper is made directly to shape from willow strips, not from pre-bound sheets, to avoid misclassification
• Keep documentation of the material and construction method for CBSA inspection
• Ensure the hamper is not marketed as a handbag, which would be classified under a sibling item
