Import Tips
• Verify the basket is woven directly from plaiting materials like willow strips; processed wood panels disqualify it from this code
• Provide certificates of vegetable origin to confirm compliance with chapter exclusions for non-plaiting materials
• Declare exact dimensions and lining status; lined baskets may shift to other subheadings
