Furniture, wooden, for office use.
Classification of wooden office desk under HS 9403.30
Wooden office desks are classified under HS code 9403.30. This code is situated within Chapter 94, which encompasses furniture and prefabricated buildings. Heading 9403 covers "Other furniture and parts thereof," excluding seats (9401) and medical furniture (9402). The subheading 9403.30 is specifically dedicated to wooden furniture of a kind used in offices. Classification is determined by the intended use and the material. To fall under this code, the desk must be designed for an office environment, which is often characterized by features like cable management, drawer configurations for files, or dimensions suited for professional work. The Harmonized System distinguishes office furniture from kitchen (9403.40) or bedroom (9403.50) furniture. Even if a desk is used in a home office, if its design is typical of office furniture, 9403.30 remains the primary classification. The wood can be solid, particle board, or fiberboard, as long as the exterior is predominantly wood or wood-based. This classification also includes modular office workstations made of wood, provided they are not primarily composed of metal panels, which would shift the classification to 9403.10.

Codes often confused with 9403.30
Common mistake. A common error is classifying wooden desks under 9403.60, which is for "Other wooden furniture." This code should only be used if the desk is not specifically for office, kitchen, or bedroom use (e.g., a general-purpose hall table). Another misclassification occurs with metal-framed desks that have wooden tops; if the metal frame provides the essential character, the item belongs under 9403.10 (Metal furniture of a kind used in offices). Finally, if the desk includes a built-in seat, the entire unit might be classified as a seat under 9401.

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).
