About basketwork, wickerwork and other articles; of bamboo, made directly to shape from plaiting materials or made up from goods of heading no. 4601

HS code 460211 covers a diverse range of products made from bamboo, including baskets, wicker furniture, and other articles created through the process of plaiting or weaving. This industry plays a significant role in the global trade of handicrafts and home decor, catering to the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products. As a labor-intensive sector, it provides employment opportunities in many developing countries, particularly in Asia, where bamboo is widely available as a natural resource.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 460211 typically involves the traditional techniques of plaiting and weaving. Skilled artisans carefully select and prepare the bamboo, splitting it into thin strips or strands, and then intricately weave or braid them into the desired shapes and patterns. This process can be done by hand or with the aid of simple tools, depending on the complexity of the final product. The finished articles are often further enhanced with decorative elements or coatings to improve their durability and aesthetic appeal.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is bamboo, a versatile and renewable natural resource. Artisans may also utilize other plaiting materials, such as rattan, straw, or even recycled materials, to create a wider range of products. In addition to the raw materials, the industry relies on basic tools and equipment, such as knives, scissors, and weaving frames, as well as access to a skilled labor force with traditional knowledge of the craft.
