- 9401.39.00.10: Swivel seats with variable height adjustment / Household
What decides the code
A gaming chair that swivels and adjusts in height is classified as a household swivel seat with variable height adjustment under 9401.39.00.10.
- The seat swivels and the height adjusts, which places it in the swivel seats with variable height adjustment group under heading 9401.
- It is a seat of heading 9401, not a seat of heading 9402, so the household subheading 9401.39.00.10 applies.
- The chair is for household use, which fits the household line under 9401.39.00.10.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the chair under heading 9402 is wrong because that heading covers seats for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary use, not gaming chairs.
- Using a fixed or non swivel seat line under heading 9401 is wrong when the chair swivels and adjusts in height.
- Treating the chair as furniture parts or as an office furniture item outside heading 9401 is wrong because the complete seat itself is classified in heading 9401.
