Import Tips
• Document the percentage of willow vs. any synthetic liner to prevent misclassification as a textile article
• Ensure no metal reinforcements that could classify it under Chapter 73 as iron/steel articles
• Label clearly as 'willow basketwork' and include weave origin proof for duty-free claims if applicable
