Plastics, statuettes and other ornamental articles.
Classification of plastic ornaments under HS 3926.40
HS code 3926.40 is specifically designated for statuettes and other ornamental articles made of plastic. This classification falls under the broader heading 3926, which is a residual heading covering "other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 39.01 to 39.14." The specific subheading 3926.40 is intended for items whose primary function is aesthetic or decorative rather than functional or utilitarian. According to the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System, this category includes a vast array of articles designed for the decoration of the home, office, or other interior spaces, such as those intended for placement on furniture, mantels, shelves, or walls. The classification depends on the item being made entirely or predominantly of plastic materials. If an ornament incorporates significant amounts of precious metal, semi-precious stones, or other high-value materials, the classification might shift to Chapter 71 (Jewelry). However, for standard decorative items like plastic figurines, imitation carvings, and wall plaques, 3926.40 is the correct and most specific designation. It is vital for importers and exporters to distinguish these ornamental items from toys (Chapter 95), which are intended for amusement, and from festive, carnival, or other entertainment articles (heading 9505), which have their own specific classification criteria based on their use during particular holidays or events.

Codes often confused with 3926.40
Common mistake. Plastic ornaments are frequently misclassified under 9505.10 (Christmas ornaments) or 9503.00 (Toys). To be under 3926.40, the item must be for general decoration and not specifically for a festive holiday or intended for children's play. Another common error is 7117.90 for imitation jewelry; if the item is a decorative object for a room rather than for personal adornment, 3926.40 is the correct code.

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).
