4601.92.05.00 - Plaits and similar products of plaiting materials, whether or not assembled into strips

This HTS classification covers plaits and similar products manufactured from bamboo, whether or not they have been assembled into strips. These items are created by interlacing or weaving bamboo strips or strands into a continuous mat or fabric-like structure. This includes finished articles such as bamboo mats, matting, screens, or wall coverings where the primary construction is a plaited or woven bamboo sheet. The key characteristic is the use of bamboo as the plaiting material, formed into a distinct pattern of interwoven strands.

This specific category, "Of bamboo," is distinguished from other potential plaiting materials by its exclusive focus on bamboo. For example, products made from rattan, straw, or other vegetal materials, even if presented in a similar plaited or woven form, would fall under different HTS subheadings within Chapter 46. Therefore, the material composition – specifically the use of bamboo – is the primary determinant for classification within this code.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions under 4601.92.05.00. Consequently, the classification is definitive for plaits and similar products of bamboo in sheet form, whether or not assembled into strips, and no further distinctions are made at a more granular level within this particular code.
