Classification of rattan baskets under HS 4602.12
Rattan baskets are classified under HS code 4602.12, which specifically covers basketwork, wickerwork, and other articles made of rattan. This classification is determined by Chapter 46 of the Harmonized System, which encompasses manufactures of straw, esparto, or other plaiting materials. Heading 4602 is reserved for finished articles that are made directly to shape from plaiting materials or made up from goods of heading 4601. Rattan, a climbing palm of the subfamily Calamoideae, is a primary vegetable plaiting material. For an item to be classified here, it must be a three-dimensional container or article formed by weaving or interlacing the rattan strands. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6, the material composition (rattan) and the nature of the product (basketwork) dictate this specific subheading. Even if the basket includes a textile liner or a metal frame for structural support, it remains under 4602.12 as long as the rattan provides the essential character of the article.

Codes often confused with 4602.12
Common mistake. Rattan baskets are frequently misclassified under 4602.11, which is reserved for bamboo products, or 4602.19, which covers other vegetable materials like willow or straw. Another common error is using 4202, which covers travel goods and handbags; if a rattan basket is designed primarily as a fashion accessory or for transporting personal effects like a purse, it may move to Chapter 42. Additionally, if the basket is made of plastic imitation rattan, it must be classified under 4602.90.

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).
