HS Code 4601.93 – Plaiting materials, plaits and similar products of plaiting materials; (not mats, matting or screens), of rattan
HS code 4601.93 is the 6-digit subheading for plaiting materials, plaits and similar products of plaiting materials, (not mats, matting or screens), of rattan. It is used for rattan core, rattan peel, rattan cane webbing (unwoven), rattan binding cane and rattan strips.
What HS 4601.93 covers
This HS code covers plaiting materials and plaits derived from rattan, excluding finished mats, matting, or screens. Rattan, a flexible climbing palm, is highly valued for its strength and aesthetic appeal, making these materials essential inputs for furniture, basketry, and decorative item manufacturing. International trade sees these raw or semi-processed rattan components moving from source countries to manufacturing hubs globally. Importers are typically furniture makers, interior designers, and craft industries seeking high-quality natural materials. Exporters are almost exclusively Southeast Asian countries where rattan grows abundantly and traditional harvesting and processing skills are maintained. Key factors in trade include the sustainability of rattan harvesting, the quality and diameter of the cane, and the increasing global demand for natural, handcrafted, and durable home furnishings.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
