Product classification
HS code for Rattan furniture: 4602.12
Basketwork, wickerwork and other articles, of rattan, made directly to shape from plaiting materials or made up from goods of heading no. 4601.
Classification of rattan furniture under HS 4602.12
The classification of rattan furniture under HS code 4602.12 is primarily based on the construction method known as basketwork or wickerwork. According to the Harmonized System's Chapter 46, this heading includes articles made directly to shape from plaiting materials. This means the item is created by interlacing or weaving the rattan strands into the final product's form, rather than assembling pre-made parts. For customs purposes, the distinction between Chapter 46 (Basketwork) and Chapter 94 (Furniture) often depends on the complexity and the presence of a non-plaiting frame. If the article is predominantly woven and retains the characteristics of wickerwork, it is classified here. This code is essential for importers to distinguish between decorative woven items and heavy-duty structural furniture. The classification also considers the origin of the material, specifically focusing on the rattan palm, which provides the flexible yet durable strands necessary for this type of manufacture. Proper documentation must highlight the weaving process to justify this specific code over general furniture headings.

Codes often confused with 4602.12
Common mistake. Rattan furniture is frequently misclassified under HS code 9403.83. While 9403.83 covers general furniture made of rattan, 4602.12 is specifically for articles made directly to shape via basketwork techniques. Another common error is using 4602.19, which is reserved for basketwork made of other vegetable materials like bamboo or willow, rather than specifically rattan.

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).
