Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact capacity measurement in liters to confirm it falls between 11.36 and 22.71 liters; slight variations can shift classification

Include material composition certificates proving polyethylene construction to avoid reclassification under other plastic articles

Ensure lids are not permanently attached if classified with closures, as separate import may require different HTS
