AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Bamboo is a grass with a hollow, segmented culm, while rattan is a solid palm-derived material and wicker refers to a weaving technique that can use various materials including bamboo, rattan, or willow. CBP classifies seats based on the primary structural material: seats where bamboo poles or slats form the frame are classified under 9401.52, while seats made primarily of rattan or wicker weave using non-bamboo materials fall under separate provisions. Mixed-material articles are classified based on the material that imparts essential character.
Yes. Bamboo seats originating in China are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty. Importers should verify the applicable Section 301 list and check for any product-specific exclusions that may be in effect at the time of entry, as exclusion availability has changed over multiple rounds of review.
