4602.19.12.00 - Of willow

This classification, HTS 4602.19.12.00, specifically designates baskets and bags, whether lined or unlined, that are crafted from willow. These articles are characterized by their construction from woven willow material, forming a shaped basket or bag for various uses. The term "of willow" is the defining material attribute for items falling under this subheading.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, "Of palm leaf," by the primary plaiting material used. While both fall under the broader heading of other baskets and bags made from vegetable materials, this subheading exclusively pertains to those constructed from willow. The intent is to differentiate based on the specific type of vegetative fiber employed in the manufacture.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the material (willow) and the product type (basket or bag). Examples within this category would include willow shopping baskets, willow storage bins, and willow tote bags, provided they are not specifically classified under a more precise subheading.
