Of rattan
Plaiting materials and plaits of rattan, in sheet form
HSN 4601 22 00 (plaiting materials and plaits of rattan, bound together or woven in sheet form) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Finished articles such as mats, matting, or screens of rattan may attract distinct classification within Chapter 46 depending on the degree of manufacture, making accurate product description the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to finished basketware or wickerwork made from rattan, which may be classified elsewhere within Chapter 46 and could carry separate import or phytosanitary considerations. Re-classification on customs examination — particularly where the goods present as finished articles rather than raw plaiting sheet material — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Verify whether the goods are semi-processed plaiting material or a completed article before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
