Import Tips
• Document that it's made-up from plaiting materials, not assembled from pre-made 4601 articles, to fit 'other' subheading
• Check for inner fabric liners; if predominant, it risks reclassification as textile articles
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates for rattan to comply with agricultural import rules
