What decides the code
A dining chair is a seat of heading 9401, classified by frame material and whether the seat is upholstered.
- Frame material decides the subheading. A wooden frame goes to 9401.61 or 9401.69. A metal frame goes to 9401.71.
- Upholstery decides the split within a frame material. An upholstered wood frame chair is 9401.61.40.11. A non-upholstered wood frame chair is 9401.69.60.11.
- An upholstered metal frame chair is 9401.71.00.11. The upholstered or not upholstered split applies to metal frames as well.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a dining chair under heading 9403 as furniture is wrong. Heading 9401 covers seats specifically.
- Classifying an upholstered wood chair under 9401.69 is wrong. That line covers wood frame chairs that are not upholstered.
- Classifying a metal frame chair under 9401.61 is wrong. The 9401.61 line applies only to wooden frames.
