Plaiting Materials

For detailed HTS classification information, visit the official U.S. HTS database. This helps determine customs duties and import regulations for plaiting materials.

Review UNIS HTS codes for specific tariff classifications, such as HTS 1401.20.20, which applies to materials cut transversely. This ensures compliance with international shipping standards.

Packaged plaiting materials require storage spaces of at least 150 sq ft (10ft x 15ft) with 9ft height clearance. Weight distribution should account for bulk density and stacking limits.

Store materials in dry, dust-free environments with adequate ventilation. Use padding and individual compartments for fragile items. Avoid direct sunlight and ensure proper labeling for traceability.

Use sturdy cardboard boxes or plastic bins with bubble wrap for padding. Small tools should be stored separately to prevent damage. Label all containers clearly for easy identification.

Ensure loading docks have 12ft wide access doors and 8ft clearance for truck maneuvering. Interior aisles should be at least 5ft wide for efficient material retrieval.

Freight costs depend on storage size, packaging materials, and handling complexity. Larger quantities may require palletized shipping, while smaller items benefit from stackable bins.
