9401.80.40 - Other

This category, HTS Code 9401.80.40, encompasses "Other" seats specifically manufactured from rubber or plastics, that are not covered by the more specific sibling category of "Of reinforced or laminated plastics" (9401.80.20). The key distinction lies in the material composition. While sibling categories might focus on advanced composite plastics, this classification applies to a broader range of seating items where rubber or plastics are the primary constituent material, excluding those involving significant reinforcement or lamination processes.

This heading serves as a residual category for plastic and rubber seats not falling into more precisely defined subdivisions. It is intended to capture a diverse array of seating solutions.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. These include specific types of children's seating such as highchairs and booster seats (excluding those for motor vehicles), bath seats, infant walkers, bouncers, and children's swings. Additionally, stationary activity centers designed for children are also classified here. The existence of these subcategories allows for precise identification and statistical tracking of these specialized seating items.
