What decides the code
A storage basket woven from seagrass is classified as wickerwork of vegetable plaiting material under heading 4602, specifically 4602.19.17.00.
- The basket is made directly to shape from seagrass, a vegetable plaiting material, which places it in heading 4602.
- It is wickerwork rather than other basketwork, which leads to the wickerwork subheading under 4602.19.17.00.
- Seagrass is a vegetable material, so the article falls under the vegetable materials group of heading 4602.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the seagrass basket in heading 9403 as furniture is wrong because it is a basketwork article, not furniture.
- Putting it in heading 6307 as other made up textile articles is wrong because seagrass is a plaiting material, not a textile fabric.
- Using heading 4601 for the finished basket is wrong because 4601 covers plaiting materials and articles bound together, not baskets made to shape.
