HS-6 · Subheading
140110
Bamboo used primarily for plaiting
Heading 1401 — Vegetable materials of a kind used primarily for plaiting; (e.g. bamboos, rattans, reeds, rushes, osier, raffia, cleaned, bleached or dyed cereal straw and lime bark)
Chapter 14: Vegetable plaiting materials
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 140110 when importing or exporting bamboo primarily intended for plaiting. This could include items like bamboo strips used in making baskets or mats. It's essential to distinguish this from other bamboo products that may serve different purposes.
Bamboo classified under HS-6 140110 is specifically aimed at plaiting, unlike HS-6 140120, which covers other vegetable materials like rattan. If your product is a bamboo item used for crafting or weaving, ensure it aligns with this code.
This HS-6 line encompasses bamboo that has been cleaned, bleached, or dyed, specifically for use in creating woven goods. If your shipment contains bamboo poles or raw bamboo not processed for plaiting, it may fall under a different classification.
When considering classification, think about the end-use of the bamboo. If it’s being shipped as raw material for construction or furniture, it won't fit this HS-6. Focus on products like decorative bamboo mats or artisanal baskets.
