Basketwork, wickerwork, and other plaiting-material articles, not elsewhere specified
HSN 4602 90 00 (basketwork, wickerwork, and other articles made from plaiting materials or loofah, not elsewhere specified) 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. Articles of plaiting materials that incorporate food-contact finishes, dyes, or structural components of a different material may attract classification under a more specific heading in Chapter 46 or an adjacent chapter, each with its own compliance profile.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: articles that combine plaiting materials with wood, metal, or plastic components may be re-classified by customs to a composite-goods heading outside Chapter 46, triggering retrospective compliance and potential detention pending re-examination. The intended end-use — household, agricultural, or industrial — and the dominant material by value and weight are the two factors most likely to determine the correct heading on examination. Verify the bill of materials and processing description against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
