4602.19.22.00 - Of willow

This HTS classification, 4602.19.22.00, specifically designates articles made of willow that fall within the broader category of luggage, handbags, and flatgoods. These items are manufactured from plaiting materials, such as willow, and are either constructed directly to shape or assembled from materials classified under heading 4601. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is the exclusive use of willow as the primary plaiting material for the construction of these travel accessories and personal carrying items.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, "Of palm leaf," by the specific plaiting material employed. While both fall under the umbrella of luggage and flatgoods made from vegetable materials, items classified here must be predominantly constructed from willow, whereas the sibling category would encompass similar items made from palm leaves. The "Other" sibling category is reserved for items that do not fit the specific material definitions of willow or palm leaf.

As a leaf node, 4602.19.22.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code depends entirely on meeting the criteria of being luggage, handbags, or flatgoods, made from willow, and not being otherwise specified under a more precise heading. This includes items like willow baskets designed for carrying personal belongings, willow-woven satchels, and other willow-made accessories that serve a similar function to traditional luggage and handbags.
