Import Tips
• 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
