Classification of bamboo joinery under HS 4418.91
Bamboo joinery is precisely classified under HS code 441891, which falls within the broader category of "builders' joinery and carpentry of wood" (HS 4418). The specific subheading 441891 is dedicated to such products when they are made of bamboo, distinguishing them from articles crafted from other types of wood. This classification is applied to components primarily intended for permanent installation in buildings, such as doors, windows, and structural elements. The inclusion of bamboo in this specific code reflects its growing recognition as a versatile and sustainable material for construction and architectural applications, providing a clear distinction for customs purposes.

Codes often confused with 4418.91
Common mistake. A frequent misclassification for bamboo joinery involves HS code 442199, which covers "other articles of wood, n.e.c." This general residual category is often incorrectly applied when a more specific and appropriate classification, such as 441891, exists. The key distinction is that 441891 specifically addresses builders' joinery and carpentry, which are components designed for integration into buildings, whereas 442199 is for miscellaneous wooden articles without a more precise heading. Another area of confusion can be HS code 940389, pertaining to "other furniture of other materials." While bamboo is used in furniture, 441891 is strictly for fixed building elements, not movable furniture items. The functional purpose – whether it's a structural building component or a piece of furniture – dictates the correct classification.

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).
