Import Tips
• Verify the basket is woven directly from plaiting materials like willow strips to avoid reclassification under other headings
• Provide origin certificates confirming vegetable materials to qualify for any preferential duty rates
• Inspect for compliance with fishing gear import regs; declare as creel, not general basketry, to prevent duty disputes
