## How to choose
- Is the basket made of metal (e.g., steel frame)? → 9403.20
- Is it made of solid wood with visible grain? → 9403.60
- Is it molded plastic, smooth and lightweight? → 9403.70

## Overlaps & pitfalls
- A basket with bamboo legs and plastic body may fit both 9403.82 and 9403.70; prioritize the **main structural material**.
- Rattan and cane are similar; rattan is stiffer, cane more flexible—use 9403.83 for rattan, 9403.89 for cane/osier.
- If unsure, identify the dominant material by weight and visibility.
- **No priority rule given**—choose based on the product’s MAIN material
