HS Code 4421.99 – Wood; not of bamboo, articles n.e.c. in heading no. 4414 to 4420 (excluding clothes hangers)
HS code 4421.99 is the 6-digit subheading for wood, not of bamboo, articles n.e.c. in heading no. 4414 to 4420 (excluding clothes hangers). It is used for wooden tool handles, wooden bobbins, wooden spools, wooden clothes pegs and wooden picture frames.
What HS 4421.99 covers
This HS code encompasses a wide array of miscellaneous wooden articles, not of bamboo, that aren't specifically classified under other headings for wood products (4414 to 4420). It serves as a catch-all for diverse wooden items, ranging from small household goods to industrial components. International trade in these goods is driven by demand for specialized wooden parts, decorative items, and craft supplies. Importers often include manufacturers needing specific wooden components for assembly, as well as retailers of home goods and craft stores. Exporters are typically countries with significant timber resources and woodworking industries, such as China, Vietnam, and various European nations. The EUDR (European Union Deforestation Regulation) is highly relevant here, requiring due diligence on the origin of wood to ensure it's legally and sustainably harvested, impacting all wooden articles traded into the EU.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
