Overview
This classification, HTS 9401.61.40.11, specifically encompasses "Other household" chairs that have wooden frames and are upholstered. These are the general-purpose upholstered wooden chairs found in typical residential settings, excluding those specifically designed for children. The inclusion of "household" is key, differentiating these from chairs intended for commercial, industrial, or other specialized uses.
It's important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 9401.61.40.01, which exclusively covers chairs designed for children, such as highchairs or toddler chairs. This current classification, 9401.61.40.11, therefore applies to upholstered wooden chairs for adults and general household use. The "Other" designation at this level indicates a residual category for upholstered wooden chairs with wooden frames that do not fall into more specific sub-classifications.
As a leaf node in the HTS structure, 9401.61.40.11 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this code hinges on fulfilling all the preceding criteria: being a chair (not convertible into a bed), possessing a wooden frame, being upholstered, intended for household use, and not being specifically for children. Examples of items that would fall here include dining chairs, accent chairs, armchairs, and desk chairs used within a domestic environment, provided they meet the structural and material requirements.
