4601.22.90.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4601.22.90.00, encompasses "Other" articles that are manufactured from rattan, falling under the broader classification of mats, matting, and screens of vegetable materials. Unlike the sibling category 4601.22.80.00, which specifically covers floor coverings made of rattan, this designation is for rattan articles that do not primarily serve as flooring but still meet the criteria of being a mat, matting, or screen. This could include items such as decorative wall hangings, room dividers, protective coverings for surfaces, or other woven rattan products that function as a mat, matting, or screen but are not intended for foot traffic.

The distinction hinges on the intended use and primary function of the article. While floor coverings are designed for durability and foot traffic, articles classified under 4601.22.90.00 are generally designed for other purposes such as decorative or protective applications where their mat-like or screen-like structure is utilized, but not for direct floor coverage. This category acts as a residual for rattan mats, matting, and screens that do not fit the more specific floor covering classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 4601.22.90.00 is determined by whether an article is made of rattan, presents as a mat, matting, or screen, and is not primarily classifiable as a floor covering. Importers should carefully consider the article's physical form, construction, and intended application to ensure accurate classification.
