Import Tips
• Document plastic composition (e.g
• ABS percentage) to distinguish from textile or leather composites
• Check for prohibited materials in locks per REACH regulations if importing from EU suppliers
• Label as 'briefcase' not 'luggage' to prevent reassignment to higher-duty suitcase categories
