Import Tips
• Confirm no food-contact certification needed unless marketed for edibles; otherwise, standard plaiting docs suffice
• Measure weave density to ensure it's plaiting, not twisted cordage excluded by chapter notes
• Avoid combining with glassware, as sets go to basket-inclusive provisions
