HS Code 9403.99 – Furniture; parts, of other than wood
HS code 9403.99 is the 6-digit subheading for furniture, parts, of other than wood. It is used for metal chair frames, plastic table legs, glass shelving units, sofa mechanisms and office chair bases.
What HS 9403.99 covers
This HS code covers parts of furniture made from materials other than wood, encompassing a vast array of components crucial for assembling modern furniture pieces. This includes items like metal chair frames, plastic table legs, glass shelving supports, and various hardware mechanisms. International trade in these parts is a cornerstone of the global furniture supply chain, with major manufacturing hubs in Asia (e.g., China, Vietnam) exporting to furniture assemblers and retailers worldwide. Importers are typically countries with robust furniture industries or high consumer demand for ready-to-assemble furniture, such as the USA, Germany, and the UK. Key considerations in trade include material quality, precision engineering, ease of assembly, and compliance with safety and durability standards. While the EUDR and EUTR primarily target wood products, related furniture items might face scrutiny regarding their overall material sourcing and sustainability claims.

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).
