Baskets

Baskets made from plaiting materials (wicker, cane, bamboo, rattan)

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4602 19 11 (baskets made directly to shape from plaiting materials) 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. Other articles within Chapter 46 — particularly loofah articles or finished basketware incorporating food-contact liners — may attract separate compliance depending on material composition and end use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to baskets classified under the residual plaiting-materials subheading; basketware incorporating textile, wood, or plastic components may be re-classified into Chapter 39, 44, or 63, each carrying its own compliance landscape. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Confirm the principal material of construction and the intended end use before treating this tariff line as the settled classification.

Customs may re-classify the article into Chapter 39, 44, or 63 depending on the essential character of the predominant material, which can attract distinct compliance obligations for that chapter.
