Overview
This HTS code, 9402.90.00.20, designates "Other" medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture that does not fall under the more specific subheadings within heading 9402. It serves as a residual category for specialized furniture used in healthcare settings, encompassing items not explicitly listed elsewhere within the heading, provided they meet the general criteria of being furniture for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary purposes.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 9402.90.00.10, which specifically covers "Hospital beds." While hospital beds are a type of medical furniture, this "Other" category is reserved for all other types of such furniture not classified as hospital beds. Examples might include examination chairs with specific functionalities not typical of a standard hospital bed, specialized surgical carts, or veterinary examination tables not already accounted for in other specific subheadings.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9402.90.00.20 relies on a careful assessment of the item's primary function, its physical characteristics, and its intended use within a medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary context. If an item is clearly furniture and serves a purpose within these professional fields but does not fit into any more narrowly defined category within heading 9402, it will likely be classified here.
