Vegetable materials of a kind used primarily for plaiting; (e.g. bamboos, rattans, reeds, rushes, osier, raffia, cleaned, bleached or dyed cereal straw and lime bark)
In plain English
This category includes plant-based items mainly intended for weaving, such as processed bamboos, rattans, reeds, rushes, osier, raffia, cereal straw, and lime bark. Specific types like bamboo and rattan are separated into their own groups because they are primarily used for plaiting. Any other vegetable materials used mainly for weaving that do not fit into those specific categories are grouped together as remaining items.
