About seats; of rattan

HS code 940153 covers the import and export of rattan seating furniture. Rattan is a type of palm that grows in tropical regions and has been used for centuries to create durable, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing furniture. The rattan seating industry plays a significant role in the global furniture trade, catering to the demand for natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly home furnishings.

Production process

The production of rattan seating involves a multi-step process. First, the rattan is harvested from the wild or cultivated plantations. The raw rattan is then cleaned, dried, and split into thin strips. These strips are then woven or bent into the desired seating shapes, such as chairs, stools, or benches. The woven rattan frames are often combined with other materials, such as wood or fabric, to create the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the rattan seating industry include the raw rattan material, which is the primary component. Additionally, manufacturers may use wood, metal, or other materials for the frame or structural components. Specialized tools and equipment, such as weaving machines and bending jigs, are also necessary for the production process. The industry also relies on skilled labor to handle the intricate weaving and shaping techniques.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 940153 is rattan seating furniture, such as chairs, stools, and benches. These products are often used in residential and commercial settings, both indoors and outdoors. The rattan seating industry's output may also be consumed by other furniture-related industries, such as 940169 Other seats, with wooden frames, 940161 Upholstered seats, with wooden frames, and 940171 Upholstered seats, with metal frames.
