Import Tips
• Verify the plaiting materials are solely vegetable origin (e.g
• willow) via supplier certificates to avoid reclassification to plastics under Chapter 39
• Provide photos and material specs in entry docs; common pitfall is mislabeling as 'wicker furniture' which shifts to Chapter 94
• Ensure no metal reinforcements exceeding minor parts to stay in 4602; bulk imports may need phytosanitary certificates
