Overview
This HTS category, 9401.80.20.01, specifically designates children's highchairs and booster seats, excluding those designed for use in motor vehicles. It also encompasses a range of other infant and child seating apparatuses such as bath seats, infant walkers, bouncers with seats, and children's swings. The common thread uniting these items is their primary purpose as seating or support for young children, designed with safety and developmental engagement in mind.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 9401.80.20.05 covers stationary activity centers for children, this category focuses on items primarily intended for seating, even if they offer some engaging features. Furthermore, 9401.80.20.11 (Other household) and 9401.80.20.31 (Other) are broader categories for seats not otherwise specified; this specific classification narrows the scope to the listed children's seating items, requiring a more precise identification of purpose and design.
As a leaf node within the HTS, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification relies on carefully evaluating whether an item fits the description of a children's highchair, booster seat (not for motor vehicles), bath seat, infant walker, bouncer with seat, or children's swing, and ensuring it is not primarily made of materials that would place it in a different classification for "other seats." The emphasis is on the intended user (child) and the specific functional type of seating or support provided.
