Import Tips

Include photos or samples showing plaited strip construction during customs entry to confirm 6504 classification

Check for agricultural import restrictions on natural fibers like raffia; obtain phytosanitary certificates

Avoid common error of declaring as 'finished hat' if unlined, which could lead to incorrect 6505 duties
