Import Tips
• Document the weaving process with supplier affidavits confirming direct rattan plaiting to differentiate from heading 4601
• Inspect for stability certifications if marketed as furniture to avoid Chapter 94 scrutiny
• Avoid combining with metal frames, as that could reclassify under Chapter 73 or 94
