Classification of plastic figurines under HS 3926.40
Plastic figurines are classified under HS code 3926.40, which covers statuettes and other ornamental articles made of plastics. This classification is part of the broader heading 3926 for "other articles of plastics." The specific subheading 3926.40 is intended for items whose primary purpose is decoration or ornamentation rather than utility. These items are often used for home decor, office ornaments, or as collectible display pieces. To fall under this code, the figurine must be made entirely or predominantly of plastic. The classification is driven by the "ornamental" nature of the product. If a plastic object has a functional use (like a lamp or a tool) but is shaped like a figurine, it would generally be classified according to its function. However, if the function is purely aesthetic, 3926.40 is the correct designation. This includes molded figures, plastic trophies without significant precious metal plating, and decorative animals or characters.

Codes often confused with 3926.40
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for plastic figurines is HS code 9503.00, which covers toys. The distinction depends on the intended audience and use: if the item is designed for the amusement of children, it is a toy (9503.00); if it is intended for display or decoration by adults, it is a figurine (3926.40). Another error is using 3926.90, which is for general plastic articles. Since 3926.40 specifically mentions statuettes and ornamental articles, it must be used for such items per the hierarchy of the Harmonized System.

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).
