9402.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, 9402.90.00, encompasses "Other" furniture not specifically enumerated within Chapter 94. It serves as a residual classification for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture that does not fall into the more specific subheadings under 9402. This includes items such as examination tables, operating tables, and hospital beds with mechanical fittings, provided they are not classified elsewhere.

Unlike the sibling category 9402.10.00.00, which is exclusively for dentists', barbers', or similar chairs (characterized by their rotating, reclining, and elevating movements), 9402.90.00.00 focuses on a broader range of specialized furniture used in healthcare and veterinary settings. The defining characteristic of items within this category is their specific design and function for medical or veterinary purposes, distinguishing them from general furniture.

This classification has further subdivisions to better delineate specific types of medical furniture. Subcategory 9402.90.00.10 specifically covers hospital beds, while 9402.90.00.20, also designated as "Other," captures any remaining medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture not otherwise specified. The existence of these subcategories allows for more precise tariff application based on the exact nature and intended use of the furniture.
