Classification of futon (wooden frame) under HS 9401.41
The classification of a futon with a wooden frame falls under HS code 9401.41. This code is part of Chapter 94, which encompasses furniture and bedding. Specifically, heading 9401 covers seats (other than those of heading 9402), whether or not convertible into beds. The subheading 9401.41 is reserved for seats convertible into beds that feature a wooden frame. The classification logic is straightforward under GRI 1: the product is a seat, it is convertible into a bed, and its primary structural component (the frame) is wood. This distinguishes it from standard sofas (which might not be convertible) and from metal-framed sleeper sofas. The wooden frame must provide the essential character of the furniture piece. This classification remains valid even if the unit includes cushions or a mattress, provided they are presented together as a single functional unit of furniture. The use of wood as the frame material is a specific criterion that triggers this subheading over the more general \"other\" category in 9401.49.

Codes often confused with 9401.41
Common mistake. A common error is classifying these items under 9403.50, which covers wooden furniture for bedrooms. However, because the item is designed primarily as a seat that converts, 9401 takes precedence. Another misclassification is 9401.61 (other seats with wooden frames), but this is only for seats that are NOT convertible into beds. Lastly, if the frame is metal, it must be classified under 9401.49 instead of 9401.41.

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).
