Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 940141 when importing or exporting wooden seats that can convert into beds, such as futons or sofa beds. For instance, a shipment of wooden frame sofa beds with mattresses falls under this code.

This code specifically applies to seats made of wood that are designed to transform into beds, distinguishing them from other types of seating like garden benches or camping chairs, which are classified differently under heading 9402.

If your product is a wooden convertible seat, it’s crucial to ensure it meets the criteria of HS-6 940141. In contrast, seats made of materials other than wood or those that do not convert into beds fall under different classifications.

When considering your shipment, remember that this code does not include garden seats or camping equipment; those items would require a different HS code. Always verify the material and functionality to ensure accurate classification.
