HS-6 940191: Seats; parts, of wood, (other than for use in the assembly of motor vehicles as determined by the minister, other than automotive)

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 940191 when importing or exporting wooden seats and their parts, such as a wooden chair frame or a wooden bench without upholstery. This code applies specifically to seats that are not designed for automotive use.

This code is distinct from HS-6 940192, which covers seats made of materials other than wood, like plastic or metal. If you have a seat made primarily of wood, 940191 is the correct classification.

The 940191 line is focused on wooden seats and parts that are not convertible into beds. Examples include wooden dining chairs, office chairs with wooden frames, and wooden stools. If your product has a wooden structure and is designed for seating, it likely falls under this code.

When considering classification, note that parts of wooden seats, such as armrests or legs, also fall under this HS-6. Ensure your product descriptions clearly indicate the material and intended use to avoid misclassification.
