Madagascar leads US supply, reflecting its production of raffia palm fiber, a material widely used in craft, horticultural, and decorative applications.

Willow classified under 1401902000 must be in a form primarily suited for plaiting — typically unpeeled, peeled, or split rods (withies) used in basketry and wickerwork. Willow that has been further processed into boards, veneer, or other manufactured forms classifies in Chapter 44. The commercial invoice should specify the form and intended use to support correct classification.
