Overview
This HTS classification, 9401.80.40.15, specifically encompasses "Other" outdoor seats that are constructed from rubber or plastics and feature textile-covered cushions or textile seating/backing material. These are seats designed for use in outdoor environments, differentiating them from general indoor furnishings.
The primary distinction from its sibling category, 9401.80.40.06 "Household," lies in the intended use and design. While "Household" seats may also be made of rubber or plastic with textile elements, they are primarily intended for indoor domestic settings. In contrast, 9401.80.40.15 applies to items specifically manufactured for outdoor durability and exposure, such as patio chairs, garden benches, or balcony seating, that incorporate textile components for comfort or aesthetics.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 9401.80.40.15. Therefore, classification at this level requires careful examination of the item's intended use (outdoor), primary construction material (rubber or plastics), and the presence of textile coverings on cushions or seating surfaces to ensure accurate categorization.
