Product classification
HS code for Nightstand: 9403.50
Furniture, wooden, for bedroom use.
Classification of nightstand under HS 9403.50
A nightstand is classified under HS code 9403.50. This code falls within Chapter 94, which encompasses furniture, bedding, mattresses, and similar stuffed furnishings. Heading 9403 covers other furniture and parts thereof, and the subheading 9403.50 is specifically reserved for wooden furniture of a kind used in the bedroom. To qualify for this code, the primary material of the nightstand must be wood (including particle board or medium-density fiberboard) and its design and size must be characteristic of bedroom use. This typically includes features like a height suitable for placement next to a bed and the presence of drawers or compartments for personal items. Classification is guided by the material composition and the intended environment of use, as defined in the Explanatory Notes to Chapter 94. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6 are applied to determine that the specific function and material take precedence over more general furniture categories.

Codes often confused with 9403.50
Common mistake. The most common error is classifying a nightstand under 9403.60, which is the general category for other wooden furniture. While 9403.60 is a catch-all for wooden furniture used in living rooms or dining rooms, 9403.50 is more specific for bedroom furniture and takes precedence under GRI 3(a). Another misclassification involves 9403.20 if the nightstand is made of metal; the material of construction is a primary determinant. Additionally, small bedside cabinets are sometimes incorrectly placed in 4420.90, which covers wood marquetry and small wooden articles, but 9403 is the correct heading for functional furniture items.

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).
