Of bamboo
Plaiting materials and plaits of bamboo, in sheet form
HSN 4601 92 00 (plaiting materials, plaits, and similar products of bamboo — mats, matting, screens, and like sheet-form articles) 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 basketware and wickerwork articles of bamboo may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 46 that carry distinct classification treatment, making precise product description essential.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all bamboo manufactures: finished articles such as baskets and wickerwork are separately classified within Chapter 46, and wood-based panels or boards incorporating bamboo may attract Chapter 44 classification with associated compliance requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, from plaiting material to finished article — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm whether the goods are unassembled plaiting material, intermediate strips, or a finished article before relying on this tariff line.
