What decides the code
A high chair is a seat with a metal frame under heading 9401, classified in 9401.71.00.01 when the frame is metal and the seat is upholstered.
- The seat has a metal frame, which places it in the metal frame group of heading 9401.
- The seat is upholstered, which leads to 9401.71.00.01 for highchairs and booster seats.
- A plastic high chair with a plastic frame does not fit the metal frame group and moves to a different seat line.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a high chair in 9401.79 is wrong because that line covers other seats with metal frames that are not upholstered.
- Classifying a high chair in 9401.80 is wrong because that line covers other seats with frames other than metal, such as plastic frames.
- Classifying a high chair in 9402 is wrong because heading 9402 covers medical, surgical, dental and similar furniture, not child seating.
