Product classification
HS code for Log cabin kit: 9406.10
Buildings, prefabricated, of wood.
Classification of log cabin kit under HS 9406.10
A log cabin kit is classified under HS code 9406.10 as a prefabricated building made of wood. Chapter 94 covers furniture, bedding, and prefabricated buildings. Heading 9406 is specifically for prefabricated buildings. According to the Explanatory Notes to the HS, prefabricated buildings are structures that are finished in the factory or put up as a kit, intended to be assembled on-site. For a log cabin kit to be classified here, it must contain all the essential components to form a complete building, such as the walls, roofing, and floor sections. Sub-heading 9406.10 is the specific code for such buildings when the primary material is wood. This classification is preferred over Chapter 44 (wood and articles of wood) because the product has reached the stage of being a building, even if it is currently in a disassembled state for transport. The kit must be presented as a complete or substantially complete unit to qualify under this heading, reflecting the intent of the Harmonized System to classify finished structures separately from raw construction materials.

Codes often confused with 9406.10
Common mistake. Log cabin kits are often misclassified under HS code 4418, which covers builders' joinery and carpentry of wood. While 4418 includes individual components like beams or panels, a complete kit for a building must go to 9406.10. They may also be confused with 9406.90, which is for prefabricated buildings made of materials other than wood.

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).
