Import Tips & Compliance

Document rattan as a vegetable plaiting material per Chapter 46 notes; inspect for any metal hardware that might require separate declaration

Pitfall: overstating value if hand-dyed, as dyes don't change classification but affect duties

Use phytosanitary certificates for tropical materials
