Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 940421 when importing or exporting mattresses made of cellular rubber or plastics, like a foam mattress for a bed. These mattresses may or may not be covered with fabric.
This code specifically applies to mattresses, distinguishing them from other bedding articles such as cushions or pillows, which fall under different classifications. For example, HS-6 940429 covers other types of mattresses not made from cellular rubber.
When dealing with mattresses, it's crucial to note that the materials used can affect classification. Mattresses made from materials like cotton or wool would not use this code, as they would be classified under different headings.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this category, consider its composition and intended use. For instance, a mattress designed for a hospital bed would still be classified under this HS-6 if it’s made of cellular rubber.
