9401.59.00.00 - Other

HTS code 9401.59.00.00, described as "Other," encompasses seats that are primarily constructed from materials similar to cane, osier, or bamboo, but which do not fit into the more specific sibling categories of bamboo or rattan. This category is intended for seating furniture where the predominant structural or decorative material, while plant-based and flexible like cane or osier, is not specifically identifiable as bamboo or rattan. Examples include seats made from willow, reed, or other similar plant fibers, provided they are fashioned into furniture intended for seating.

This classification differentiates itself from HTS codes 9401.52.00.00 (Seats of bamboo) and 9401.53.00.00 (Seats of rattan) by excluding items where bamboo or rattan are the clearly dominant and identifiable materials. The "Other" designation in 9401.59.00.00 signifies a residual category for natural fiber seating furniture not precisely specified by its more narrowly defined counterparts. Classification hinges on the accurate identification of the primary constituent plant material, ensuring it falls outside the explicit definitions of bamboo and rattan.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classifying goods under 9401.59.00.00 rests solely on confirming that the seating furniture is indeed made from materials akin to cane, osier, or bamboo, but specifically *not* bamboo or rattan themselves, and that the item is intended for seating purposes.
