Last updated: April 2026 dataRattan canes intended for plaiting and wickerwork are split in the US tariff schedule by physical length and form: rough rattan of 4 meters or more (1401202010), rough rattan of 3.9 meters or less or cut transversely (1401202090), and other rattan for plaiting (1401204000). Indonesia is the world's primary source of rattan, and its position as the second-largest US supplier reflects both natural resource abundance and longstanding export trade, while China leads in processed and prepared forms. Importers should be aware that Indonesia has historically applied export restrictions on raw rattan to encourage domestic processing, which can affect availability and pricing of unprocessed cane. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply to raw plant material.

The US schedule subdivides rattan for plaiting by length because longer, uncut canes (4 meters or more) are typically used for structural furniture framing, while shorter or transversely cut pieces are more suited to weaving and binding applications. Misclassifying by length can result in the wrong duty rate and potential CBP penalties; importers should measure and document cane length in the commercial invoice.
Indonesia has periodically restricted or banned exports of raw rattan to promote domestic value-added manufacturing. When such restrictions are in effect, US importers may find that Indonesian-origin rattan arrives in more processed forms (e.g., peeled, bleached, or pre-cut), which can shift classification away from heading 1401 toward finished furniture components in Chapter 94. Buyers should monitor Indonesian trade policy and maintain flexible sourcing arrangements.
