Willow Picnic Basket from Germany

A traditional rectangular basket made directly from woven willow plaiting materials, featuring sturdy handles and often a checkered lining for picnic outings. It falls under HTS 4602.19.12.00 as a basket of willow, a vegetable plaiting material, shaped without using pre-made plaits from heading 4601. The willow withies are interlaced to form the body, lid, and compartments typical for carrying food and utensils.

Import Tips

Verify the basket is made directly from willow plaiting materials, not assembled from heading 4601 plaits, to avoid reclassification

Provide certificates of vegetable origin and photos showing willow weave structure for CBP examination

Avoid lining with substantial textile amounts that could shift classification to textile articles under Chapter 63
