9401.69.40 - Of teak

This HTS category, 9401.69.40, specifically covers chairs with wooden frames that are upholstered or otherwise finished, and are designated as being made of teak. The "Of teak" designation is a material-specific qualifier at this granular level of classification. This ensures that chairs meeting these criteria, and specifically constructed from teak wood, are precisely categorized.

The sibling category, 9401.69.60, encompasses "Other" chairs with wooden frames. This implies that 9401.69.40 is a more specific classification within the broader "Other" category for chairs, distinguished solely by the material being teak. If a wooden-framed chair is not made of teak, or its material composition falls outside this specific designation, it would likely be classified under the sibling 9401.69.60.

While this specific node focuses on teak chairs, it acknowledges further subdivisions for more detailed classification. The presence of subcategories indicates that within teak chairs, there may be further distinctions. These could include breakdowns based on intended use, such as "Household" applications, or other specific characteristics within the "Other" subdivision, allowing for even greater precision in customs declarations.
