Product classification
HS code for Fireworks: 3604.10
Pyrotechnic products, fireworks.
Classification of fireworks under HS 3604.10
Fireworks are classified under HS code 3604.10. This classification is found in Chapter 36, which covers explosives, pyrotechnic products, pyrophoric alloys, and certain combustible preparations. Heading 3604 specifically includes fireworks, signaling flares, rain rockets, fog signals, and other pyrotechnic articles. Subheading 3604.10 is the specific designation for fireworks. These products are defined by their ability to produce an explosive or pyrotechnic effect for amusement, signaling, or illumination. The classification is based on the chemical composition of the items, which typically include an oxidizer, a fuel, and various metallic salts to produce colors. Because fireworks are designed for entertainment and display purposes through the combustion of pyrotechnic compositions, they are strictly excluded from other chapters like Chapter 95 (toys and games) and must be declared under this specific heading. The classification applies to both professional display fireworks and consumer-grade products, regardless of their size or the complexity of the pyrotechnic effect produced.

Codes often confused with 3604.10
Common mistake. Fireworks are sometimes misclassified under HS code 3604.90, which is for "other" pyrotechnic articles like signaling flares or rain rockets. However, if the item is intended for amusement, 3604.10 is the correct code. They are also occasionally confused with HS code 9505 (festive articles), but Note 1(n) to Chapter 95 explicitly excludes pyrotechnic articles of heading 3604.

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).
