Classification of sleeper sofa under HS 9401.49
A sleeper sofa, or sofa bed, is classified under HS code 9401.49 when it is a seat convertible into a bed and is constructed of materials other than wood. Chapter 94 covers furniture, bedding, and lamps. Heading 9401 is specifically for seats, and the subheadings distinguish between those that are convertible into beds and those that are not. The classification 9401.49 is used for convertible seats that do not have a wooden frame (typically metal or plastic). This classification is determined by the primary function of the item as a seat, even though it has a secondary function as a sleeping surface. The "other than wood" distinction is critical for selecting the correct six-digit subheading in the Harmonized System.

Codes often confused with 9401.49
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is 9401.41, which is the code for convertible seats with wooden frames. Importers must verify the frame material to choose between .41 and .49. Another common error is classifying these items under 9403.20 (other metal furniture) or 9404.10 (mattress supports). Because the item is designed primarily to be sat upon, it must remain in 9401. Additionally, standard sofas that do not convert into beds are classified under 9401.61 (upholstered with wooden frames) or 9401.71 (upholstered with metal frames).

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).
