Classification of wooden household items under HS 4421.99
Wooden household items that do not fall under specific categories like furniture, tableware, or statuettes are classified under HS code 4421.99. This is a residual or "basket" category for articles of wood that are not elsewhere specified or included (n.e.s.o.i.). Classification in Chapter 44 is generally for products that have been manufactured from wood but have not reached the level of complexity required for Chapter 94 (Furniture). Heading 4421 specifically covers items like clothes hangers, spools, and various household tools. The subheading 4421.99 is used for items made of wood other than bamboo and excludes specific items like clothes hangers (which have their own subheading). This code is essential for miscellaneous wooden goods that serve a functional purpose in the home but do not fit the definition of kitchenware or decorative art.

Codes often confused with 4421.99
Common mistake. These items are often confused with HS code 4419.90 (Tableware and kitchenware) or 4420.90 (Wood marquetry and small decorative items). For example, a wooden tray used for serving food must be in 4419, while a wooden tray used for holding keys in a hallway would fall under 4421.99. Another common error is using 9403 for small wooden stools or stands; if the item is not substantial enough to be considered furniture, it remains in 4421.99.

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).
