Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven and plaited goods made directly to shape — including baskets, wickerwork, and loofah articles — occupy a distinct commercial niche in home goods, retail, and agricultural-supply channels. The key classification distinction is that articles here are formed directly from plaiting materials or parallel strands rather than cut or assembled from pre-woven sheet goods, which separates them from textile-based woven products. Natural-fiber construction (rattan, willow, seagrass, loofah) means USDA APHIS may require phytosanitary documentation to address plant-pest risk at entry.

Articles classified here must be formed in their final shape during the plaiting or weaving process itself — not cut or sewn from pre-made woven fabric or matting. A basket woven to its finished form qualifies, whereas a bag cut and stitched from woven rattan sheet would likely fall under a different heading.
Yes. Baskets and wickerwork made from unprocessed or minimally processed plant materials (e.g., willow, rattan, straw) may require phytosanitary certificates and are subject to USDA APHIS inspection at the port of entry to prevent introduction of plant pests. Heat treatment or other approved processing can affect admissibility requirements.
