Import Tips

Verify the basket is made directly from plaiting palm leaves, not assembled from pre-made plaits of heading 4601, to avoid reclassification

Provide certificates of vegetable origin and photos showing wickerwork construction to confirm HTS 4602.19.14.00 applicability

Avoid lining with textiles over 20% of surface area, as it may shift to lined basket subheadings or Chapter 42
