Importers of Basketwork & Wickerwork of Non-Vegetable Materials; Loofah Articles paid $2.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $14.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBasketwork and wickerwork made directly to shape from non-vegetable materials — including plastics, metal wire, and synthetic fibers — along with articles of loofah, are consolidated under a single 10-digit line (4602900000), making material identification the pivotal classification step. India leads US import supply, followed by Vietnam and China. Loofah articles, though botanically derived from the luffa gourd, are specifically directed to this heading rather than to the vegetable-material basketwork provisions, a classification nuance that frequently surprises first-time importers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The Harmonized System specifically directs articles of loofah to heading 4602 alongside non-vegetable basketwork, even though loofah is a plant-derived material. This is an explicit HS classification rule, not an inference — importers should not reclassify loofah goods into the vegetable-material subheadings (460211, 460212, or 460219) based on the material's botanical origin.
'Made directly to shape' means the article is formed into its final configuration during the weaving or basketwork process itself, rather than being cut or assembled from pre-made sheet or strip material. If a non-vegetable woven article is cut from a larger woven sheet and then assembled, it may fall outside this heading and require classification elsewhere, such as in the plastics or textile chapters depending on the constituent material.
