GENERAL
In addition to articles of loofah, this Chapter covers semi-manufactured products (heading 46.01) and certain articles (headings 46.01 and 46.02) made by interlacing, weaving or by similar methods of assembling unspun materials, particularly : (1) Straw, osier or willow, bamboos, rushes, rattans, reeds, chipwood (i.e., wood in thin strips), drawn wood, strips of other vegetable material (for example, strips of bark, narrow leaves and raffia or other strips obtained from broad leaves such as those of banana plants or palm trees), provided they are in a state or form suitable for plaiting, interlacing or similar processes. (2) Unspun natural textile fibres. (3) Monofilament and strip and the like of plastics of Chapter 39 (but not monofilament of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm nor strip or the like of an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm, of man-made textile materials, of Chapter 54). (4) Strips of paper (including paper covered with plastics). (5) Certain materials consisting of a textile core (unspun fibres, braid, etc.), wound or covered with strips of plastics, or thickly coated with plastics, so that the product no longer has the character of the fibres, braid, etc., forming the core.
Certain of these materials, particularly the vegetable products, may be prepared (e.g., by splitting, drawing, peeling, etc., or by impregnating with wax, glycerol, etc.) to render them more suitable for plaiting, interlacing or similar processes.

(ⅲ) Textile rovings (except when wholly covered with plastics as described in paragraph (5) above) (Section XI). (ⅳ) Textile yarn impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with plastics (Section XI). (ⅴ) Strips of leather or composition leather (generally Chapter 41 or 42) or of felt or nonwovens (Section XI) or human hair (Chapter 5, 59, 65 or 67).
