Papier-Mâché Easter Baskets from Canada
Handcrafted baskets made from papier-mâché, shaped and molded from paper pulp mixed with adhesive, ideal for Easter egg hunts. These fall under HTS 4823.90.20.00 as they are articles of papier-mâché, cut to size or shape, not classified elsewhere like printed motifs in Chapter 49. They are lightweight, decorative items often painted or decorated.

Import Tips
• Verify the product is truly papier-mâché (paper pulp molded with adhesive) via material composition certificates to avoid reclassification to plastic or wood articles
• Ensure no predominant printed motifs, as those shift to Chapter 49; provide lab tests confirming pulp content
