HS 1404900090 — Other — sits in Chapter 14 (Vegetable plaiting materials). Bamboo, rattan, reeds, and other vegetable materials for plaiting or stuffing. EU importers pay MFN duty plus import VAT at the border; origin-specific trade remedies (anti-dumping, countervailing, safeguards, US Section 301) can stack on top when applicable. Classification disputes are decided by the Section II — Vegetable products legal notes shown below — these are legally binding interpretation rules, not advisory text. The duty table renders live rates from authoritative tariff sources (EU TARIC, HMRC XI, USITC HTS); cross-country rows compare treatment under five tariff schedules.
