Import Tips
• Label as '100% palm leaf plaiting' to meet vegetable material requirements; test for adulterants
• Measure dimensions (<6 inches) to substantiate 'pocket/handbag' classification vs larger flatgoods
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as leather goods; provide weaving process details
