About chapter 14
Chapter 14 covers vegetable plaiting materials (bamboo, rattan, reed used in basketware) and other vegetable products not classified elsewhere: a small, mostly craft-material chapter.
Classification tip: Raw plaiting material stays in chapter 14, but once it's woven into a finished basket or piece of furniture it reclassifies under chapter 46 (basketware) or chapter 94 (furniture) instead.

Chapter 14 FAQ
What does HS code chapter 14 cover?
Chapter 14 of the Harmonized System covers: vegetable plaiting materials; vegetable products not elsewhere specified or included. It belongs to section II (Vegetable Products) and contains 2 four-digit headings, 1401–1404.
How many HS codes are in chapter 14?
Chapter 14 contains 2 four-digit headings and 5 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.
Is HS code 1401 the same in every country?
Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.
How do I choose the right code within chapter 14?
Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
