Overview
This HTS category, 4602.19.14.00, specifically classifies wickerwork and basketware constructed from palm leaf. This includes items that are either made directly to shape from woven or plaited palm leaf materials, or those that are assembled from pre-formed articles of plaiting materials described in heading 4601. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this code is the primary material of construction – palm leaf.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4602.19.16.00 ("Other"), is crucial. While both fall under "Other baskets and bags, whether or not lined" and "Of vegetable materials," this code is reserved for articles *specifically* made of palm leaf. The sibling category would encompass basketwork and wickerwork of vegetable materials other than palm leaf, such as rattan, willow, bamboo, or straw.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4602.19.14.00. Therefore, the focus for classification at this level remains on verifying that the article is indeed wickerwork or basketware and that its constituent plaiting material is exclusively palm leaf. Examples of items falling into this category could include woven palm leaf shopping bags, decorative baskets, or hand fans made from plaited palm leaves.
