Import Tips
• Provide photos and specs showing textile exterior; customs often challenges backpacks with plastic reinforcements
• Declare as 'other' textile travel bags; avoid generic 'bag' descriptions to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Check for prohibited reinforcements like excessive metal that could reclassify to Chapter 73
