Banana Leaf Coaster from Japan
Plaited coasters made from banana leaf strips, which are narrow leaves and thus a plaiting material under Chapter 46. They are shaped directly from the material and do not match the specific basket or bag articles in the sibling item, so they fall under 'Other'.

Import Tips
• Confirm the banana leaves are dried and stripped, not processed into paper or textile, to stay in Chapter 46
• Declare them as 'articles of vegetable plaiting materials' and avoid mixing with plastic or metal
• Keep samples or photos for CBSA inspection if needed
