Import Tips

• Verify the basket is made directly from willow plaiting materials, not assembled from heading 4601 plaits, to avoid reclassification

• Provide certificates of vegetable origin and photos showing willow weave structure for CBP examination

• Avoid lining with substantial textile amounts that could shift classification to textile articles under Chapter 63
