Import Tips
• Provide photos or samples showing direct plaiting construction to distinguish from assembled goods of heading 4601
• Label as 'palm leaf' accurately; mislabeling as generic 'straw' risks audit and reclassification
• Check for prohibited treatments like chemical stiffeners that could classify as Chapter 39 plastics
