Use HS-6 940199 when importing or exporting seat parts made from materials other than wood, specifically for vehicle assembly. For example, this code applies to plastic or metal components used in car seats.
This code is part of the 9401 heading, which covers seats that are not classified under 9402. While 940199 focuses on non-wood parts for vehicles, 9401.10 is for seats with wooden frames, highlighting the importance of material in classification.
