Import Tips & Compliance
• Document plastic composition exceeding 50% outer surface to confirm 4202.12; avoid leather trim misinterpretation
• Test for rigidity per ASTM standards if challenged; common issue is partial rigidity claims
• Declare as 'similar container' if not purely attache, but maintain travel bag intent
