Import Tips
• Document the handwoven process from raw bamboo plaiting strips to confirm direct shaping, not from bound plaits of 4601
• Label as 'bamboo basketwork' and include material composition to meet plaiting materials definition
• Avoid importing with metal hardware; additions could reclassify as parts of other chapters
