Overview
This HTS category, 4602.19.60.00, specifically classifies wickerwork made from vegetable materials, excluding those that are directly shaped from plaiting materials or made up from articles of heading 4601. This encompasses finished goods constructed through the weaving or braiding of natural, pliable plant materials such as rattan, willow, bamboo, reeds, or straw, which have undergone further fabrication beyond the initial creation of plaiting material. Examples include but are not limited to hand-woven baskets, hampers, and decorative items where the primary construction method is wickerwork and the constituent materials are of vegetable origin.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 4602.19.80.00, lies in the specific nature of the wickerwork. While both fall under "Other" of "Other" of "Of vegetable materials," 4602.19.60.00 is reserved for items where the characteristic "wickerwork" construction is the defining feature. Sibling categories at this level are often distinguished by subtle variations in material, construction technique, or end-use, necessitating careful examination of the physical product against the defined scope of each code.
As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 4602.19.60.00 rests on definitively identifying the goods as wickerwork, of vegetable materials, and ensuring they do not fit into more specific preceding classifications within heading 4602, particularly those related to articles made directly to shape from plaiting materials or articles of heading 4601.
