Product classification
HS code for Clothes hangers: 4421.10
Wood, clothes hangers.
Classification of clothes hangers under HS 4421.10
Wooden clothes hangers are classified under HS code 4421.10. This classification is found in Chapter 44, which pertains to wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal. Heading 4421 is the residual heading for "Other articles of wood," and subheading 4421.10 is specifically reserved for clothes hangers. The classification is straightforward based on the material composition. According to GRI 1, the primary factor for classification here is the constituent material (wood) and the specific function (hanging clothes) as named in the subheading. This code applies regardless of the type of wood used—whether it is hardwood like oak or maple, or softwood like pine. It also includes hangers made from bamboo, which is botanically a grass but classified as wood for HS purposes. The presence of a metal hook does not change the classification, as the essential character of the item is provided by the wooden body, following GRI 3(b). This ensures that the product is taxed according to wood product regulations rather than metalware or plasticware.

Codes often confused with 4421.10
Common mistake. Clothes hangers are frequently misclassified based on material. Plastic hangers must be classified under 3924.90, while metal wire hangers fall under 7323.99. Another error is using the general wooden article code 4421.99; however, because 4421.10 is a specific subheading for clothes hangers, it takes precedence over the "other" category. Importers must ensure the material is predominantly wood to use this code.

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).
