Import Tips
• Verify the palm leaf origin with supplier certificates to confirm vegetable plaiting material classification and avoid reclassification as synthetic
• Ensure no leather or plastic linings are added, as they could shift to Chapter 42 headings; document weave construction
• Declare exact dimensions and weight accurately to prevent undervaluation penalties during customs valuation
