Import Tips

Verify the outer surface is predominantly plastic sheeting (e.g

polycarbonate or ABS) via material composition reports to avoid misclassification as leather-covered

Provide detailed photos and construction specs showing rigidity on all sides; common pitfall is classifying semi-rigid as non-structured

Ensure labeling complies with CPSC for luggage safety standards; declare value accurately to prevent undervaluation penalties
