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.
