What basketwork and wickerwork mean in HS 4602

Basketwork and wickerwork are goods that are woven or plaited into a shape. Plaiting materials are the materials used to do that weaving. Heading 4602 covers two routes to the finished article.

Articles of loofah also sit here. So when people search for basketware, a wicker basket or a loofah product, this is the heading they usually land on. Some countries write the same number as an HSN code or an HTS code, so you may see HSN code 4602 or HTS 4602 on paperwork. The heading is part of Chapter 46, which groups basketware and wickerwork under the customs tariff classification.

HS code 4602 subheadings by material

The four six-digit subheadings use the same wording. The only thing that changes is the material the article is made of. Here is each one in plain words.

• 460219: basketwork and similar articles of other vegetable materials, and articles of loofah.

How to choose the right 4602 subheading

Start with the material, because that decides the six-digit code. If it is neither, it may not belong in this heading at all.

• Bamboo article: use 460211.
• Rattan article: use 460212.
• Any other plant material, such as a loofah article: use 460219.
• A material that does not come from plants: use 460290.
• Not sure? Run the product description through the HS code classifier.

HS 4601 vs 4602: plaits or finished basketwork

Heading 4601 is about plaits and similar products. It also covers plaiting materials bound together in parallel strands or woven in sheet form. Think of it as the stage before the basket.

Heading 4602 is about the basket or other article itself, made from those goods or shaped directly. The 4601 text also mentions finished articles, so read both descriptions before you decide. You can open the page for heading 4601 plaits to compare the wording side by side.
