Import Tips
• Document hand-weaving process to justify 'plaiting materials' classification over manufactured goods
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing artisanal labor; declare fair market value for handicraft imports
• Test for formaldehyde in any binders used, as vegetable products may trigger REACH-like chemical compliance
