4601.94.05.00 - Plaits and similar products of plaiting materials, whether or not assembled into strips

This HTS category encompasses plaits and similar products formed from plaiting materials, which have been assembled into strips. This includes materials where individual strands of plaiting material are bound together in parallel formation or are woven into a sheet. Importantly, these products can be in their raw, unfinished state or be further processed into finished articles such as mats, matting, or screens. The key characteristic is the construction using plaiting techniques, whether in a linear strip form or as a woven sheet.

While the broader heading covers a range of items made from plaiting materials, this specific subcategory, "Other," within the context of "Of other vegetable materials," signifies those plaits and woven sheets that do not fall under more specific material classifications (which would have been enumerated in preceding subcategories if they existed). It acts as a residual category for plaited or woven vegetable matter that doesn't fit into more narrowly defined material types.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code hinges on confirming the product is indeed a plait or similar product of plaiting materials, assembled into strips or woven into sheets, and that it is derived from vegetable materials not specifically classified elsewhere within the "other vegetable materials" framework. Examples would include woven mats made from materials like raffia, certain types of dried grasses, or other non-wood, non-esparto vegetable fibers that are plaitable or weaveable.
