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
