Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 940383 when importing or exporting furniture made of rattan, such as chairs, tables, or decorative items. For instance, a shipment of rattan lounge chairs would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers furniture crafted from rattan, distinguishing it from other materials like wood or metal. For example, while HS-6 940381 includes wicker furniture, 940383 focuses solely on rattan products.

Rattan furniture is often lightweight and durable, making it popular for both indoor and outdoor use. If you're dealing with rattan dining sets or garden furniture, this is the correct classification.

Be aware that products made from similar materials, like bamboo, may require different codes. For example, bamboo furniture typically falls under a separate classification, so ensure you're using the right HS code.
