Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain supplier certifications confirming seagrass as plaiting material in strip form, not processed fibers, to meet Chapter 46 definitions
• Check for lining; if substantial, it may require separate textile declarations under HTS rules
• Avoid common error of classifying as 'straw bags' without verifying material—customs may demand botanical identification
