Classification of rattan weaving material under HS 4601.93
Rattan weaving material, when processed into plaits or similar products but not yet formed into mats or screens, is classified under HS code 4601.93. This code covers "other" products of rattan plaiting materials. It represents an intermediate stage of manufacture where the raw rattan has been split, peeled, or prepared and then woven into continuous lengths, braids, or bands. These materials are intended for use in the further manufacture of furniture, baskets, or architectural elements. The classification under 4601.93 is determined by the fact that the material has been "worked" beyond the state of raw vegetable material (which would fall under Chapter 14) but has not yet reached the final form of a specific article like a basket (Chapter 4602) or a piece of furniture (Chapter 94). It is the catch-all category for rattan plaiting products that do not meet the definitions of mats or screens. This code is essential for manufacturers who import semi-finished rattan components for local assembly or craft production.

Codes often confused with 4601.93
Common mistake. Rattan weaving material is often misclassified under HS code 1401.20, which is for raw rattan. Once the rattan is plaited or braided, it must move to 4601.93. It is also sometimes confused with 4601.22 if the webbing is wide enough to be mistaken for matting.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
