Import Tips
• Document the rattan source and plaiting process to distinguish from bamboo or willow under customs scrutiny
• Declare as unlined; any fabric interior could trigger reclassification within 4602.19.15
• Comply with phytosanitary requirements for vegetable materials to prevent quarantine holds
