Import Tips
• Document the weaving process to prove direct shaping from plaiting materials, distinguishing from assembled goods of heading 4601
• Label clearly as 'fishing creel' with dimensions and capacity to support tariff classification during customs review
• Watch for misdeclaration as general storage baskets, which would fall under 4602.12.15.00 and different duties
