Mattress supports.

Classification of bed base under HS 9404.10

HS code 940410 is specifically designated for mattress supports, commonly known as bed bases. This classification encompasses structures designed to provide foundational support for mattresses, ensuring proper weight distribution and enhancing mattress longevity and comfort. The critical aspect of this classification is its focus on the support function for a mattress, distinguishing it from complete bed frames that might include headboards, footboards, and side rails. Products under this code are essential components of a bedding system, providing the necessary platform for a mattress to rest upon, irrespective of whether they are rigid, slatted, or adjustable.

Codes often confused with 9404.10

Common mistake. A frequent misclassification involves HS 9403, which covers "Other furniture and parts thereof." Complete bed frames, including headboards, footboards, and side rails, are typically classified under 9403. The distinction lies in the primary function: 940410 is exclusively for the mattress support structure, whereas 9403 applies to the broader furniture item (the bed frame). Another potential confusion point is HS 9404.90, which covers "Other articles of bedding and similar furnishing," such as duvets, quilts, and pillows. These items are soft furnishings for comfort and warmth, not structural supports for a mattress, making their classification distinct from bed bases.

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).
