Sourcing this category from India

Chapter 14 covers vegetable plaiting materials and vegetable products not specified elsewhere — bamboo, rattan, reeds and similar fibres. India supplies bamboo, sabai grass and coir-adjacent plaiting stock that feeds its basketware and handicraft clusters. This is a small chapter used to classify raw fibres before they become finished woven goods.

How to read this code

14 is the two-digit HS chapter for vegetable plaiting materials. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many vegetable products lines — check our import guides for your market.
