Furniture imports are measured differently depending on the classification used. The broad SITC group 821 recorded $222.9 billion in global imports in 2022, while the narrower HS 9403 heading covers furniture and parts not elsewhere specified in chapter 94.
The figures below make the geography, period, units, and classification explicit so trade values are not confused with retail sales.

Global Furniture Import Scale and Definitions
The broadest supplied measure is the United Nations Comtrade annual publication’s SITC group 821, which covers furniture and parts thereof and stuffed furnishings. It recorded $222.9 billion in global imports in 2022, a measure for the World rather than a single national market.
Global SITC group 821 imports increased 1.1% in 2022 compared with 2021. This is an observed annual trade change, not a forecast, and the classification is not identical to the narrower HS 9403 values used for the country comparisons.

HS 9403 is a specific furniture-and-parts heading within chapter 94. It should not be described as all furniture, all home furnishings, or all chapter-94 imports.
The country figures in the sections below are WITS/UN Comtrade values in thousands of current U.S. dollars. They are customs-style trade values, not retail sales, and partner rows are presented as values rather than calculated market shares.
U.S. Furniture Import Statistics by Supplier Country
The United States imported $27,143,452.05 thousand of HS 9403 furniture and parts in 2023. Vietnam was the largest listed supplier at $6,816,644.81 thousand, followed closely by China at $6,402,660.24 thousand.

Additional U.S. supplier values show a wider origin network beyond the largest four. Other Asia, nes supplied $821,221.95 thousand, Indonesia supplied $727,017.84 thousand, India supplied $684,774.74 thousand, and Thailand supplied $539,857.40 thousand in 2023.
These are partner-reported trade values for HS 9403. “Other Asia, nes” is a WITS partner aggregate category, so it is not a single country.
Canada Furniture Import Data and Supplier Mix
Canada imported $3,158,722.33 thousand of HS 9403 furniture and parts in 2023. China supplied $1,203,899.67 thousand, while the United States supplied $682,209.60 thousand.

The remaining reported Canadian supplier values include Mexico at $66,205.35 thousand, Lithuania at $60,870.41 thousand, India at $60,325.52 thousand, and Germany at $53,204.02 thousand in 2023.
The supplier mix therefore includes North American, Asian, and European origins. The figures indicate the value of recorded HS 9403 imports; they do not by themselves measure Canadian furniture consumption, retail pricing, or supplier market share.
United Kingdom Furniture Import Statistics by Origin
The United Kingdom imported $5,178,353.46 thousand of HS 9403 furniture and parts in 2023. China supplied $1,670,345.16 thousand, Italy supplied $832,249.93 thousand, and Germany supplied $501,743.44 thousand.

Other listed origins were Spain at $108,890.46 thousand, Turkey at $100,706.44 thousand, and Sweden at $99,471.02 thousand. The reported values show both non-European and European sourcing within the same HS 9403 import measure.
France Furniture Import Statistics and European Sourcing
France imported $5,261,648.80 thousand of HS 9403 furniture and parts in 2023. China supplied $1,002,037.64 thousand, Germany supplied $882,301.91 thousand, and Italy supplied $820,111.86 thousand.
| Supplier or measure | 2023 value, US$ thousand |

| France total HS 9403 imports | 5,261,648.80 |
| China | 1,002,037.64 |
| Germany | 882,301.91 |
| Italy | 820,111.86 |

| Portugal | 160,877.83 |

France’s other supplied origin values were $132,594.75 thousand from the United Kingdom, $120,420.89 thousand from Lithuania, and $112,085.32 thousand from Turkey in 2023. The data therefore captures substantial European sourcing alongside China and other non-European origins.
UAE Furniture Import Statistics and Supplier Diversity
The United Arab Emirates imported $1,199,712.13 thousand of HS 9403 furniture and parts in 2023. China supplied $366,553.37 thousand, while Italy supplied $194,066.64 thousand.
| Supplier or measure | 2023 value, US$ thousand |
|---|---|
| UAE total HS 9403 imports | 1,199,712.13 |
| China | 366,553.37 |
| Italy | 194,066.64 |
| Turkey | 57,582.93 |
| Germany | 54,167.28 |
| Malaysia | 52,485.71 |
| India | 50,423.49 |
Other reported UAE supplier values were $50,100.82 thousand from Poland, $38,067.73 thousand from the United Kingdom, $35,944.53 thousand from Lithuania, and $33,805.14 thousand from Vietnam in 2023.
The UAE figures show a diverse set of listed origins, but diversity here means multiple reported supplier values, not a calculated concentration index or market-share estimate. Comparisons with the global SITC 821 figure should also be avoided because SITC 821 and HS 9403 are different product classifications.
The U.S. Census describes merchandise import datasets as including HTSUSA commodity codes, country of origin, quantity, shipping weight, and multiple value fields. That framework reinforces the need to distinguish customs-value import statistics from retail sales and other market measures.
