Overview
This classification covers wickerwork articles specifically crafted from bamboo. These are distinct from other plaiting materials like straw or esparto, focusing exclusively on bamboo as the primary material. The term "wickerwork" implies articles constructed through weaving, plaiting, or interlacing strands of bamboo. This category encompasses a wide array of finished products made from this material.
Within the broader heading of "Basketwork, wickerwork and other articles, made directly to shape from plaiting materials or made up from articles of heading 4601; articles of loofah," this subcategory specifically isolates articles made of bamboo. The "Of vegetable materials" parent category confirms the origin, while "Of bamboo" pinpoints the exact plant source.
As this is a leaf node, the distinction from sibling categories is paramount. The sibling category, 4602.11.09.00 "Other," would typically cover wickerwork articles made from bamboo that do not fit the criteria for specific bag or basket constructions, or perhaps pre-formed bamboo components not yet assembled into a finished article. This current classification, 4602.11.07.00, is specifically for assembled baskets and bags, regardless of whether they are lined, that are constructed using bamboo wickerwork techniques. This detailed specification allows for precise tariff application based on the final form and function of the bamboo article.
