Codes often confused with 4419.19
Common mistake. A common misclassification for bamboo kitchenware is HS code 442199, which covers "other articles of wood, n.e.c." This general residual category is often incorrectly applied to bamboo kitchen items. However, HS 441919 is a much more specific and appropriate classification, directly addressing tableware and kitchenware made of bamboo. The specificity of 441919 takes precedence over the general "other" category. Another potential confusion arises with HS code 392410, which pertains to "tableware and kitchenware, of plastics." While some kitchenware may combine materials, 441919 is strictly for articles predominantly or entirely made of bamboo, distinguishing them from plastic alternatives based on their material composition.

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).
