Overview
This classification, HTS Code 9401.80.40.35, encompasses a variety of "other" seats made of rubber or plastics that are specifically designed for outdoor use. This category captures furniture intended to be situated outside of a typical dwelling or enclosed commercial space, such as patios, gardens, balconies, or poolside areas. The defining characteristic is their suitability for exposure to the elements, which often dictates material durability and design considerations not present in indoor furniture.
This category is distinct from its sibling, 9401.80.40.26, which covers "Household" seats of rubber or plastics. While both are made from similar materials, the "Household" designation implies a primary use within a domestic indoor setting, whereas this category is exclusively for items intended for outdoor placement. Therefore, the intended environment of use is the key differentiator.
As this node is a leaf category, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this specific code depends on meeting the criteria for "Other seats" made of rubber or plastics, being generally categorized as "Other" at the preceding levels, and specifically designated for "Outdoor" use. Examples might include plastic deck chairs, rattan-style outdoor seating made from synthetic materials, or stackable plastic benches intended for garden use.
