HS code for Wooden drawer fronts: 9403.91
Furniture, parts, of wood.
Classification of wooden drawer fronts under HS 9403.91
Wooden drawer fronts are classified under HS code 9403.91 because they are specifically identifiable as parts of furniture. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6, and specifically Chapter 94 Note 2, parts of furniture are to be classified within the same heading as the furniture itself, provided they are suitable for use solely or principally with the articles of headings 9401 to 9403. Since these items are manufactured to specific dimensions, often pre-drilled for handles or hinges, and finished to match a furniture set, they lose their character as general wood products (Chapter 44) and take on the character of furniture components. This classification applies regardless of whether the wood is solid, particle board, or medium-density fiberboard (MDF), as long as the essential character is that of a furniture part.

Codes often confused with 9403.91
Common mistake. Wooden drawer fronts are frequently misclassified under heading 4418, which covers builders' joinery and carpentry of wood. While 4418 includes items like doors and windows, it does not cover parts specifically designed for furniture. Another common error is using 4421.99 for "other articles of wood." However, because 9403.91 is more specific to furniture parts, it takes precedence over the general wood articles category. Importers must distinguish between a simple plank of wood (Chapter 44) and a finished component that is clearly part of a furniture assembly (Chapter 94).

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).
