Import Tips
• Verify the plaiting material is solely vegetable (e.g
• willow) and woven directly to shape to avoid reclassification to plastics under 4602.90
• Provide origin certificates confirming natural vegetable fibers, as synthetic blends shift to different subheadings
• Label as 'wickerwork' not furniture to prevent misclassification under Chapter 94 HTS
