HS Code 9403.89 – Furniture; of cane, osier, or similar materials (other than bamboo or rattan)

HS code 9403.89 is the 6-digit subheading for furniture, of cane, osier, or similar materials (other than bamboo or rattan). It is used for wicker chairs, cane dining tables, osier baskets (integrated into furniture), seagrass ottomans and water hyacinth sofas.

What HS 9403.89 covers

This 'other' category for furniture made from non-wood natural materials covers items constructed from cane, osier (willow), wicker, seagrass, water hyacinth, and similar plant-based fibers, specifically excluding bamboo and rattan which have their own distinct codes. These materials are often woven or braided to create lightweight, aesthetically pleasing furniture, suitable for various indoor and outdoor settings. Importers include specialty retailers, craft stores, and interior designers seeking unique textures and natural aesthetics. Exporters typically come from countries with traditional weaving skills and access to these specific plant materials. Key considerations for trade include the specific material's durability, the complexity of weaving patterns, and the overall craftsmanship, catering to a niche market for natural, artisanal furnishings.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
