Import Tips
• Verify the material is solely willow or wood strips suitable for plaiting to avoid reclassification under textile chapters
• Provide Certificates of Origin to qualify for preferential duty rates under agreements like USMCA if sourced from qualifying countries
• Inspect for assembly into finished articles; loosely bound sheets may shift to earlier headings within 4601
