Rattan Plaited Mats from Germany

These are woven mats made from plaited rattan strips, a vegetable plaiting material, assembled into sheet form for use as floor coverings or decorative screens. They fall under HTS 4601.94.40.00 as plaits and similar products of other vegetable materials, not specifically bamboo or raffia, in unfinished sheet form. The parallel interlacing of rattan qualifies as plaiting without being bound in strands.

Import Tips

Verify the vegetable origin of materials like rattan with supplier certificates to avoid reclassification as plastics or non-plaiting items

Declare exact dimensions and weaving method in entry docs; common pitfall is mislabeling as finished furniture under Chapter 94

Obtain phytosanitary certificates for rattan to comply with USDA import regulations on plant materials
