Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lined or reinforced with substantial leather or textile materials
Handbags with significant non-plaiting components like leather lining are classified under Chapter 42 as travel goods rather than pure basketwork.
If made from plaits or sheets of heading 4601 rather than directly shaped
Products assembled from pre-formed plaits of vegetable materials fall under the earlier subheading for made-up articles, not direct shaping.
If primarily of plastic strips or synthetic plaiting materials
Synthetic plaiting materials shift classification to Chapter 42 handbags of plastics, excluding natural vegetable plaiting under Chapter 46.
