Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 940389 when importing or exporting furniture made from cane, osier, or similar materials, excluding bamboo or rattan. An example would be a shipment of cane chairs or tables. This code is specific to furniture that is not classified under other materials like wood or metal.
This HS-6 line narrows down the broader category of furniture and parts under HS-4 9403. While 940391 covers furniture made from bamboo or rattan, 940389 specifically addresses items made from cane and similar materials, ensuring accurate classification.
When considering furniture options, remember that HS-6 940389 does not include upholstered items or those made from composite materials. If your shipment consists of wicker furniture or similar cane products, this is the correct code.
If you are unsure whether your product fits this classification, compare it with HS-6 940391 for bamboo items or HS-6 940390 for other types of furniture. Understanding these distinctions can help avoid misclassification.
