9401.79.00.01 - Highchairs and booster seats

This HTS category, 9401.79.00.01, specifically encompasses highchairs and booster seats designed for children. These items are characterized by their primary function of elevating a child to a dining table level, often incorporating safety features such as restraints and trays. The "other seats, with metal frames" context indicates that the fundamental structure of these seats is metallic, distinguishing them from items with predominantly wooden or plastic frames, which would fall under different subheadings.

Unlike sibling categories such as infant walkers (9401.79.00.02), bouncers with seats (9401.79.00.03), children's swings (9401.79.00.04), or stationary activity centers (9401.79.00.06), highchairs and booster seats are designed for stationary use at a table for feeding or as a secure, elevated seating solution during meals. Infant walkers are designed to assist a child in learning to walk, bouncers offer a suspended rocking motion, swings are for recreational movement, and activity centers focus on providing diverse engagement features rather than elevated dining.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 9401.79.00.01. Therefore, the classification relies on the precise definition of highchairs and booster seats, ensuring that products are correctly identified based on their intended purpose and construction, particularly the presence of a metal frame, to differentiate them from other types of children's seating arrangements.
