Import Tips
• Document the raffia as unspun strips suitable for plaiting per Chapter 46 note to differentiate from yarns (Chapter 52)
• Include invoices specifying 'direct weave construction' to prevent misclassification as assembled parts
• Watch for quota issues if blended; pure vegetable plaiting avoids textile restraints
