Products classified under HTS 1401.20.20
Rough Whole Rattan Canes
Natural rattan canes harvested directly from the vine, left in their rough, unprocessed state without splitting or peeling. These are cut transversely into sections for easier handling and classified under HTS 1401.20.20 as raw rattan material primarily used for plaiting in basketry and furniture weaving.
Unprocessed Rattan Lengths Cut to Sections
Freshly harvested rattan cut into transverse sections, retaining bark and rough exterior for plaiting applications in furniture and mats. HTS 1401.20.20 applies strictly to this minimally handled form of rattan.
Transversely Cut Rattan Poles
Rattan poles cut across into uniform sections while remaining in the rough, ideal for transport and initial processing in plaiting industries. Classified under HTS 1401.20.20 due to minimal processing limited to transverse sectioning, retaining primary use for plaiting in wickerwork.
Rough Sectioned Rattan for Basketry
Unrefined rattan stalks sectioned transversely for use in traditional basket weaving and plaiting crafts. Falls under HTS 1401.20.20 as it matches the 'in the rough or cut transversely' criterion for rattan plaiting materials.
Rough Rattan Canes for Wickerwork
Rough rattan canes sectioned across for wicker furniture production, valued for natural flexibility in plaiting. Precisely fits HTS 1401.20.20 as unrefined rattan not further split or treated.
