Import Tips
• Verify the plaiting materials are solely vegetable origin (e.g
• willow) to avoid reclassification under plastics or other chapters
• Provide detailed photos and material certificates showing direct shaping from plaits to confirm wickerwork status
• Watch for lining additions, as lined versions may shift to other subheadings within 4602
