4601.22.40.00 - Woven or partly assembled

This HTS category, 4601.22.40.00, specifically covers woven or partly assembled articles made from rattan. Rattan, a type of vine found in tropical regions, is a key plaiting material characterized by its flexibility and strength. Products classified here include items where rattan strands have been interwoven or assembled into sheet form. This can range from unfinished or semi-finished components to completed articles such as mats, screens, or decorative panels that are primarily constructed from woven rattan.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it's important to note that other subcategories within 4601.22 would cover different types of vegetable materials used for mats, matting, and screens, or potentially other forms of rattan articles not specifically woven or assembled in this manner. This particular heading focuses on the construction method: the interlacing or weaving of rattan to form a cohesive structure.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 4601.22.40.00 relies on confirming that the article is indeed made of rattan and has been manufactured through weaving or partial assembly into a sheet or strip form, intended for use as mats, matting, screens, or similar finished or semi-finished articles. The key is the material (rattan) and the construction technique (woven or partly assembled).
