Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 940139 when importing or exporting swivel seats that have variable height adjustment and are made from materials other than wood. For instance, an office chair with a pneumatic lift mechanism falls under this code.
This code specifically covers seats that are not designed for medical or dental use, distinguishing them from similar products like those classified under HS-6 940211, which are designed for medical purposes. If your product is a swivel chair for an office, it fits here, but a dental chair would not.
Swivel seats classified under HS-6 940139 can include various designs, such as ergonomic office chairs, gaming chairs, or stools that adjust in height. These products are commonly used in workplaces and homes.
When considering classification, note that this line excludes wooden seats, which would fall under different codes. If your product features a wooden base, you may need to explore other headings.
