Furniture, of cane, osier, or similar materials (other than bamboo or rattan).
Classification of cane table under HS 9403.89
Cane tables are classified under HS code 9403.89. This code falls within Chapter 94, which encompasses furniture and prefabricated buildings. Heading 9403 is a residual category for "Other furniture and parts thereof," covering items that are not seats (9401), medical furniture (9402), or cabinets. The subheading 9403.89 specifically targets furniture made of cane, osier, or similar materials, excluding bamboo and rattan which are classified under 9403.82 and 9403.83. Classification is driven by the "essential character" of the item as per GRI 3(b). If a table features a glass top but a cane frame, it is typically classified by the material that provides the structural integrity and aesthetic value, which is the cane. The Harmonized System requires precise identification of the vegetable material used. Cane, derived from the stems of various climbing palms, is distinguished from bamboo (a grass) and rattan (the whole vine). Proper classification ensures correct duty application and compliance with environmental regulations regarding the trade of vegetable materials. Importers must ensure that the material is correctly identified as cane rather than rattan to avoid delays in customs clearance, as different materials may be subject to different phytosanitary requirements.

Codes often confused with 9403.89
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with rattan furniture (9403.83) and bamboo furniture (9403.82). Because cane is a byproduct of rattan, many traders use the terms interchangeably, but the HS code 9403.89 is reserved for cane and osier specifically. It is also sometimes confused with 9403.60 (other wooden furniture) if the cane is woven over a heavy wooden frame.

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).
