Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify rattan origin with CITES documentation if harvested from protected species to comply with wildlife import regulations
• Provide detailed photos and material specs to CBP to distinguish from finished basketry in 4602
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'raw rattan' which shifts to 1401.10 if unprocessed
