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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If split, peeled, or drawn
Processed rattans beyond rough or transverse cuts fall under the subsequent subheading for semi-processed plaiting materials.
If further sawn or shaped into rods/poles
Rattan advanced to wood-like poles or rods for construction moves to Chapter 44 as hoopwood or splats.
If manufactured into plaited baskets
Once woven into finished basketwork articles, classification shifts to Chapter 46 for plaiting products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin certificates to confirm Southeast Asian sourcing, as rattan is primarily from Indonesia/Malaysia; avoids misclassification as generic wood
• Inspect for transverse cuts only—no splitting or peeling allowed, or shifts to 1401.20.40; document rough condition with photos
• Quarantine declarations required for plant materials; common pitfall is pest contamination leading to FDA/USDA rejections
Related Products under HTS 1401.20.20
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.
