HTS Chapter 94 generally covers furniture, bedding and similar furnishings, lighting equipment, and prefabricated buildings. Representative headings include seats (9401), medical and specialized furniture (9402), other furniture (9403), mattresses and bedding articles (9404), luminaires and lighting fittings (9405), and prefabricated buildings (9406). The exact classification depends on the product’s design, function, materials, construction, and whether it is presented complete or as a part.
The HTS is organized from broad to specific: a chapter, then a four-digit heading, a more detailed six-digit subheading, and finally a U.S. 10-digit statistical reporting number. Start with the product’s actual characteristics and intended use, then compare the relevant heading and subheading descriptions, section and chapter notes, and applicable exclusions. Confirm the complete 10-digit code in the current HTSUS, including any unit-of-quantity or statistical-reporting requirements. Borderline classifications may require a customs broker or a binding ruling from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
What to check
- Identify the product’s principal function, physical form, construction, and materials; do not classify it by marketing name alone.
- Check whether the item is complete, unassembled, or a part, and verify whether a more specific heading or an exclusion applies.
- Review the chapter, section, and relevant heading notes, especially for specialized furniture, lighting components, and prefabricated structures.
- Distinguish classification from origin: materials, manufacturing steps, and origin rules may affect other import requirements even when they do not change the HTS heading.
- Check the current HTSUS and any applicable Chapter 99 provisions for additional duties or reporting requirements; confirm treatment with a customs professional when facts are uncertain.
How to use this chapter
A chapter is the first classification level, not a duty rate. Choose the heading that describes the product, narrow by material, construction, use, or other legal distinctions, and verify the final line against the official HTS notes.
