Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

1401.20.40.00Lower: 12% vs 17.5%

If split, drawn, or peeled

Split or processed rattans shift to a different subheading within 1401.20 for more refined forms suitable for immediate plaiting.

4404.10.00Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If converted to chipwood

Chapter notes exclude chipwood from 1401, directing it to heading 4404 as wood chips or particles used in particleboard rather than plaiting.

4602.11Lower: 16.6% vs 17.5%

If manufactured into plaiting materials

Once processed into mats, strips, or similar plaiting-ready forms, it becomes a product of plaiting under Chapter 46, not raw vegetable material.
