Import Tips
• Document weaving technique and osier sourcing to support classification over plaiting materials in 4602
• Avoid pairing with seats in same shipment to prevent treatment as complete article under 9401.71
• Test for durability standards if for commercial use, as rattan-like materials may need reinforcement disclosures
