HTS heading 4602 covers finished articles made directly to shape from plaiting materials, such as woven, braided, or similar materials, and articles assembled from products of heading 4601. It also covers articles made from loofah. Examples can include baskets, wickerwork, mats, and other household or decorative items, depending on their construction and use.
Heading 4602 is a broad 4-digit category, not the final classification. To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS subheading, examine the article’s primary material, how it was made, and what kind of article it is. The detailed subheadings commonly distinguish among material groups or product types, so the exact construction and identity of the imported item matter more than its marketing name.
What to check
- Identify the actual plaiting material, such as rattan, bamboo, willow, another plant material, plastic, or loofah; do not rely only on the product name.
- Confirm whether the item was made directly to shape or assembled from an article of heading 4601, and keep manufacturing details or supplier specifications.
- Determine the article’s specific type and principal use—such as a basket, mat, container, furniture component, or decorative article—because similar-looking goods may have different subheadings.
- Check the complete HTSUS 8-digit description and any associated legal notes, exclusions, and statistical suffix requirements before selecting a code.
- Use product photos, dimensions, material composition, construction details, and invoices to support the classification; request a customs-broker review or binding ruling when the subheading is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
