Analysis
Heading 4602 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers basketwork, wickerwork and other articles, made directly to shape from plaiting materials or made up from articles of heading 4601; articles of loofah. It divides into 4 six-digit subheadings and 28 eight-digit tariff lines, with 29 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 18 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 18%, applies to 4602.12.25 (luggage, handbags and flatgoods, whether or not…) and 4602.19.25 (of palm leaf: other).
8 of its 28 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (29%) and 20 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 18%. The median line pays 5%.
The largest subheadings are 4602.19 (other, 14 lines), 4602.12 (of rattan, 7 lines), 4602.11 (of bamboo, 6 lines) and 4602.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing (321999), Other Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing (31699) and Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing (339920). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
