Wood, statuettes and other ornaments, of other than tropical wood.
Classification of wooden statuettes under HS 4420.19
Wooden statuettes made from non-tropical wood species are classified under HS code 4420.19. Chapter 44 covers wood and wood articles, and heading 4420 specifically includes wood marquetry, inlaid wood, caskets, cases for jewelry or cutlery, and other ornaments. Subheading 4420.19 is the residual category for statuettes and other ornaments that are not made from tropical wood varieties. These items are typically decorative in nature and are processed beyond simple wood shapes to include artistic carving, turning, or assembly. The classification is driven by the ornamental function of the product rather than a utilitarian purpose. If the wood used is identified as a tropical species listed in the Chapter 44 Subheading Note 2, it would be moved to a different subheading. This classification adheres to the legal notes of Chapter 44 which distinguish between functional builders' joinery and purely decorative articles. The items must not have a primary utilitarian function that would classify them under other headings like 4419 (tableware) or 4421 (other articles).

Codes often confused with 4420.19
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is using 4420.11, which is reserved exclusively for statuettes made of tropical wood. Importers must verify the wood species to choose between .11 and .19. Another error is classifying modern mass-produced statuettes under 9703.00, which is reserved for original works of art and statuary. If the item is an antique over 100 years old, it should be classified under 9706.00 rather than 4420.19.

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).
