Classification of rattan matting under HS 4601.22
Rattan matting is classified under HS code 4601.22, which specifically covers mats, matting, and screens of rattan. This classification is determined by the product's form as a flat, sheet-like material produced by plaiting or weaving rattan strands together. Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 46 is dedicated to manufactures of straw, esparto, or other plaiting materials. Matting is distinguished from individual plaiting strands by being a finished or semi-finished surface covering. The classification remains here as long as the matting has not been further processed into a specific article of furniture or a more complex composite product. The strands are usually bound in parallel or interlaced to create a continuous surface. This code is vital for international trade as it separates rattan-based floor and wall coverings from those made of synthetic materials or other vegetable fibers like bamboo or straw. The durability and aesthetic of rattan matting make it a distinct category in global customs tariffs.

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).
