Classification of wooden hangers under HS 4421.10
Wooden clothes hangers are classified under HS code 4421.10. This code is found within Heading 4421, which is the residual category for \"Other articles of wood.\" This heading is used for wooden products that are not specifically described in the preceding headings of Chapter 44 or elsewhere in the Harmonized System. Subheading 4421.10 is a specific international subheading for clothes hangers. The classification is based on the material (wood) and the specific function of the item. Even if the hanger includes a metal hook or a plastic bar for trousers, the wooden body usually provides the essential character of the article, leading to its classification under 4421.10. This code is used by customs authorities to monitor the trade of these common household and retail items. The classification is straightforward and rarely contested, provided the primary material is wood. It covers all types of wooden hangers, including those made from solid wood, laminated wood, or wood composites. The finish of the wood, whether natural, painted, or lacquered, does not affect this classification.

Codes often confused with 4421.10
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs when the material is not wood. Plastic hangers fall under 3923.90 or 3926.90, while metal hangers are classified under 7326.90. If a hanger is made of multiple materials, the \"essential character\" rule (GRI 3b) must be applied. If the wood is merely a decorative inlay on a primarily plastic hanger, it would not be classified under 4421.10.

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).
