Codes often confused with 4602.11
Common mistake. Misclassification can occur when distinguishing between raw plaiting materials and finished articles, or between bamboo articles and those made from other materials. HS code 460121 covers "Plaits and similar products of plaiting materials, whether or not assembled into strips; plaiting materials, plaits and similar products of plaiting materials, bound together in parallel strands or woven in sheet form, of bamboo." This code is for the raw or semi-finished plaiting materials themselves, such as bamboo sheets or strips, not the finished articles like baskets. Misclassification occurs if the product is not a finished article. Another potential confusion is with HS code 442090, which covers "Wooden articles of furniture not falling in Chapter 94." While some wooden articles might be decorative, 460211 is specific to articles made by plaiting or weaving bamboo, not solid wood construction.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
