About HS Code 460290
This code covers finished articles of basketwork, wickerwork, and similar products made from non-vegetable materials. This can include items crafted from synthetic fibers, paper yarn, plastic strips, metal wire, or combinations thereof, all formed through plaiting techniques. These goods are traded for various applications where durability, specific aesthetic properties, or resistance to elements are desired, often surpassing what natural fibers can offer. Importers include retailers, industrial suppliers, and specialized manufacturers seeking unique material properties for outdoor furniture, industrial containers, or decorative items. Exporters are typically industrial producers with advanced manufacturing capabilities. Key aspects include the material's specific characteristics (e.g., waterproof, UV resistant, lightweight) and the design innovation in utilizing non-traditional plaiting materials to create functional and aesthetically pleasing products.
