Furniture, of cane, osier, or similar materials (other than bamboo or rattan).
Classification of wicker furniture under HS 9403.89
Wicker furniture, excluding seats, is classified under HS code 9403.89. This code covers "Other furniture" made from cane, osier, or similar vegetable materials. While chairs fall under 9401, items like tables, shelving units, chests, and headboards made from woven wicker are categorized under 9403. The distinction is based on the function of the item (non-seating) and the material used. Like the seating category, this code excludes bamboo and rattan, which have their own specific subheadings (9403.82 and 9403.83 respectively). Wicker refers to the weaving process, and for this classification, the material must be of vegetable origin. This classification is vital for international trade as it helps in applying specific duties related to agricultural products and handcrafted furniture. It also allows for the monitoring of trade in specific natural resources used in the furniture industry. Importers must be careful to distinguish between furniture intended for storage or surface use and furniture intended for sitting, as the latter is always moved to heading 9401. The use of the term "wicker" in a commercial sense often includes synthetic materials, but for HS code 9403.89, only natural vegetable fibers are permitted. Synthetic wicker furniture is generally classified under 9403.70 (plastic furniture).

Codes often confused with 9403.89
Common mistake. The most common error is using 9403.82 for bamboo or 9403.83 for rattan furniture. Another error is using 9401.59 for wicker tables; 9401 is strictly for seats. Synthetic wicker is often wrongly placed here instead of 9403.70.

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).
