Chapter 94 — Furniture; lighting
HS 9403 — Other furniture and parts thereof
Other furniture and its parts — the broad heading covering most non-seating furniture such as tables, desks and cabinets.
What falls under HS 9403?
Products commonly classified under this heading include:
- tables and desks
- cabinets and shelving
- metal and wood furniture
- furniture parts
These are examples, not a classification ruling. The exact code — and your duty rate — depend on the finished product and your destination country.
What moves your duty rate?
For goods under HS 9403, the rate you pay usually turns on:
- material (wood, metal, plastic)
- whether assembled or knock-down
- destination country and any anti-dumping measures on wood furniture
Duties vary widely by the full commodity code and destination. This page is a starting point — verify the rate with your customs broker before you commit.
Estimate your landed cost
Once you have a duty rate from your broker or the tariff schedule, put it into the landed-cost calculator with your product cost and freight to see the all-in number per unit. For the category-specific questions — supplier checks, compliance, freight — see the buyer's guide: Importing furniture from China.
