Product classification
HS code for Rattan sofa: 9403.83
Furniture, of rattan.
Classification of rattan sofa under HS 9403.83
A rattan sofa is classified under HS code 9403.83, which is the specific designation for furniture made of rattan. Chapter 94 of the Harmonized System covers furniture, bedding, and similar furnished articles. Within this chapter, heading 9403 applies to "Other furniture and parts thereof," and the subheading 83 is reserved specifically for rattan. This classification is used when the product is a finished piece of furniture designed for placing on the floor or ground and used for utilitarian purposes, such as seating or lounging. Unlike simple basketwork, a sofa typically features a more robust construction, often involving a frame (which may also be rattan or wood) and is intended for long-term use in a domestic or commercial setting. The classification follows the principle that finished furniture items are grouped by their material of construction when a specific subheading exists. For importers, using 9403.83 ensures compliance with furniture-specific regulations, including safety standards and material origin declarations required for wooden and vegetable-based furniture.

Codes often confused with 9403.83
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for a rattan sofa is HS code 9401.53. While 9403.83 covers general furniture, 9401.53 is specifically for "Seats of rattan." Since a sofa is a type of seat, 9401.53 is often the more legally accurate code for customs entry, though 9403.83 is frequently used for non-seating rattan furniture like tables or cabinets.

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).
