Import Tips
• Verify the basket is woven directly from rattan strips meeting Chapter 46 plaiting material definitions to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of vegetable origin and photos showing fishing-specific design like drainage holes or bait compartments
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no metal reinforcements that could shift classification to composites under Chapter 44
