🌿 Natural Rattan Mats & Decorative Rattan Products (Decorative Rattan Mats)

🌐 HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Entry Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: Do You Really Understand "Rattan"?

Natural Rattan Mats and Rattan Decorations are traditional woven goods made from natural rattan vines. In international trade, they are primarily classified into two categories based on their primary function and material composition:

1. Woven Articles of Rattan (Basketry/Plaiting): Mats used for flooring, wall decoration, or furniture upholstery, where the structural integrity comes from the weaving process.
2. Textile Floor Coverings: Mats where the primary value is derived from the textile nature of the backing or binding, even if made of natural fibers.

⚠️ Key Distinction Point:
- If the item is primarily a woven structure (interlaced strands) → It falls under Chapter 46 (Basketwork & Plaiting Goods) or Chapter 44 (Wood/Vegetable Plaiting Materials). - If the item is considered a floor covering with textile characteristics → It falls under Chapter 57 (Carpeting & Textile Floor Coverings).

📦 II. HS Code Classification Details (2026 Latest Tariff Authority对照)

🔍 Key Reminder:
- "Rattan Mats" are often contested between Chapter 46 (Woven Goods) and Chapter 57 (Textile Floor Coverings). The customs officer will look at the primary characteristic: Is it a woven article or a floor covering? - "Rattan Decorations" (non-structural, non-woven) fall under Chapter 44 as other wood/plant articles.

💰 III. 2026 Latest Tariff Rate Breakdown (Including Additional Taxes & Policy Surcharges)

✅ Applicable Country: United States (US)
✅ Country of Origin: China (CN)
✅ Effective Date: From November 10, 2025 (including subsequent imports)

🎯 1. 4602.12.35.00 —— Woven Articles of Vegetable Plaiting Materials (Natural Rattan Mats)

📌 Explanation:
- Although the base tariff for basketry is low (0%), the Section 301 tariffs (25%) and IEEPA surcharges (10%) apply strictly to Chinese-origin rattan products. - Total 35% is significant for low-value woven goods.

🎯 2. 5705.00.20.90 —— Other Textile Floor Coverings (Vegetable Textiles)

📌 Note:
- If customs classifies your mat as a "Textile Floor Covering" rather than a "Woven Article," the base rate increases to 3.3%, leading to a higher total tax. - This classification is riskier for natural fiber mats.

🎯 3. 5705.00.10.00 —— Other Textile Floor Coverings (Non-tufted/Needle-punched)

📌 Note:
- Similar to 4602.12.35.00, this code has a 0% base rate, but the additional taxes still push the total to 35%. - Differentiation from 5705.00.20.90 lies in the specific manufacturing process (non-tufted).

🎯 4. 4602.12.45.00 —— Woven Articles of Vegetable Plaiting Materials (Other)

📌 Note:
- This is the highest tax bracket among rattan woven goods due to the 6.6% base rate. - Ensure your product description clearly distinguishes it from the 0% base rate codes (4602.12.35.00).

🎯 5. 4421.99.98.80 —— Other Wood Articles (Rattan Decorations)

📌 Note:
- Applies to non-woven rattan decorations (e.g., carved rattan vases, decorative shells, rattan balls). - Classified under Chapter 44 (Wood) rather than Chapter 46 (Basketry).

📌 VI. Common Mistakes & Pitfall Guide (Blood & Tears Lessons)

❌ Mistake 1: Declaring a Woven Rattan Mat as a Textile Rug (5705.00.20.90)
👉 Consequence: Base tax jumps from 0% to 3.3%, total tax becomes 38.3% instead of 35%.
Loss: 3.3% extra cost per unit.

❌ Mistake 2: Declaring Decorative Rattan Items as Woven Mats (4602.12.35.00)
👉 Consequence: If not woven, customs may reclassify to 4421.99.98.80 (Base 3.3%), leading to back taxes + penalties.

❌ Mistake 3: Ignoring Section 301/IEEPA in cost calculation
👉 Consequence: Underquoting CI, leading to customs holds, demurrage fees, and retroactive tax payments.

❌ Mistake 4: Using vague descriptions like "Natural Fiber Mat"
👉 Consequence: Customs officer has discretion to choose the highest applicable code. Always be specific.

✅ Correct Practice:

"Natural Rattan Woven Floor Mat, 100% Vegetable Plaiting Material, HS Code 4602.12.35.00, Origin: China"
