9402.10.00.00 - Dentists', barbers' or similar chairs and parts thereof

This category, HTS Code 9402.10.00.00, specifically enumerates dentists', barbers', and similar chairs designed for professional use, along with their constituent parts. These are typically characterized by specialized functional features such as rotating, reclining, and elevating mechanisms, facilitating comfortable and efficient operation for practitioners. Examples include high-end dental examination chairs, barber chairs with hydraulic adjustments, and chairs specifically engineered for beauty salons or tattoo parlors that share these operational functionalities.

While the broader heading 9402 covers medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture, this particular subcategory is distinct from the "Other" category (9402.90.00). The distinction lies in the specificity of the chair's design and intended use. Category 9402.10.00.00 is reserved for chairs with the characteristic barber or dentist chair movements, whereas 9402.90.00 would encompass other types of furniture within heading 9402 that do not possess these specific chair functionalities, such as hospital beds or operating tables that may have mechanical fittings but do not fit the definition of a rotating, reclining, and elevating chair.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods under HTS 9402.10.00.00 relies entirely on the careful examination of the chair's physical attributes and intended purpose to ensure it meets the criteria of a dentist's, barber's, or similar chair with the specified movements, differentiating it from other furniture items classified under heading 9402.
