Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 940399 when importing or exporting furniture parts made from materials other than wood, such as metal or plastic. For example, if you're shipping metal legs for chairs or plastic components for modular furniture, this code applies.
This code is distinct from HS-6 940391, which covers furniture parts made of wood. If your parts are primarily wood-based, you should classify them under that code instead. Understanding these nuances helps avoid classification errors.
The HS-6 940399 line specifically includes furniture parts that are not made from wood, such as those made from metal, plastic, or composite materials. This can include items like metal frames, plastic fittings, or upholstered components that do not have a wooden base.
When dealing with furniture imports, knowing the right HS code ensures compliance and smooth customs clearance. If you're unsure whether your product fits this classification, consider the primary material and end-use of the furniture part.
