9403.20.00.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 9403.20.00.90, pertains to "Other" metal furniture that does not fit into more specific subheadings within the metal furniture category. It encompasses a broad range of metal furniture items not otherwise enumerated, such as metal chairs, tables, cabinets, and stands, that are not primarily designed for specific functions like display or storage as outlined in sibling categories. The key criterion for inclusion is that the furniture must be primarily constructed of metal and not fall under more specialized classifications within chapter 94.

This "Other" category serves as a residual classification for metal furniture. It is distinct from sibling categories such as "Counters, lockers, racks, display cases, shelves, partitions and similar fixtures." Those sibling categories specifically cover metal furniture designed for the organized storage, presentation, or division of space. In contrast, 9403.20.00.90 captures more general-purpose metal furniture where a specific functional designation isn't the primary defining characteristic for classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this subheading relies on a process of elimination, ensuring that the metal furniture in question does not meet the criteria for any more precisely defined HTS codes within the broader furniture chapter, particularly those for other metal furniture or other categories of furniture. Practical classification will often involve examining the primary use, construction materials, and overall design of the item to confirm it is not classifiable elsewhere.
