Classification of wooden jewelry boxes under HS 4420.90
Wooden jewelry boxes are classified under HS code 4420.90. This code is part of Heading 4420, which covers wood marquetry, inlaid wood, and various decorative or functional wooden cases. Specifically, this heading includes caskets and cases for jewelry or cutlery, and similar articles of wood. Subheading 4420.90 is the residual category for these items. These boxes are distinguished from ordinary packing boxes (Heading 4415) by their superior finish and the fact that they are intended for long-term use and display. They are often lined with soft materials like velvet or silk and may feature intricate carvings or inlays. The classification under 4420.90 also includes small wooden furniture items that are not large enough to be classified in Chapter 94. The primary factor for classification is the material (wood) and the specialized nature of the container as a protective and decorative case for valuable items. The presence of mirrors or specialized compartments further reinforces this classification.

Codes often confused with 4420.90
Common mistake. Wooden jewelry boxes are often confused with 4415.10, which covers wooden cases and boxes used for packing and transport. However, 4415 is for industrial or commercial shipping containers, not decorative personal items. Another misclassification is 4202.92, which covers jewelry boxes with an outer surface of plastic or textile. If the box is made of wood but covered in leather, it must be classified under Heading 4202.

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).
