What decides the code
A folding camping chair with a metal frame and textile seat is classified as an outdoor seat with a metal frame under heading 9401, specifically 9401.79.00.11.
- The seat has a metal frame, which places it in the metal frame group of heading 9401 rather than other seat headings.
- The seat and backing are textile material, which leads to the textile seating or backing subheading.
- The chair is designed for outdoor use, which directs it to the outdoor line within the subheading.
- The chair folds for storage and transport, which fits the folding seat description under this line.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 9401.80 for other seats is wrong because the frame is metal, not another material.
- Classifying under 9402 is wrong because that heading covers medical, surgical, dental or veterinary furniture, not camping chairs.
- Classifying under 9403 for other furniture is wrong because the item is a seat, which heading 9401 covers.
