Chapter 46 covers manufactures of straw, esparto and other plaiting materials, basketware and wickerwork. India's handicraft sector exports baskets, mats and decorative ware woven from bamboo, sabai grass, cane and palm leaf. This small chapter classifies plaited and woven goods by the fibre used and by whether they are plaiting material or finished basketware.
