9403.30.80 - Other

This HTS code, 9403.30.80, encompasses "Other" wooden furniture of a kind used in offices that is not specifically classified elsewhere within the 9403.30 sub-heading. This category serves as a residual classification for office furniture made primarily of wood, including desks, tables, chairs, filing cabinets, bookcases, and credenzas, intended for office environments, that do not fall under more granular descriptions.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9403.30.40 (Bent-wood furniture), is crucial. While both pertain to wooden office furniture, this category does not specifically require bent wood construction. Instead, it captures a broader range of wooden office furniture constructions and designs.

Within this broad "Other" classification, several subcategories exist to provide further specificity. These subcategories are primarily differentiated by the type of wood used. For instance, 9403.30.80.01 specifically addresses furniture made from Padauk or Narra, while 9403.30.80.05 is dedicated to furniture crafted from precious hardwoods like Rosewood, Palissander, and various Dalbergia species. Other subcategories further refine this by singling out teak (9403.30.80.21) and Wenge (9403.30.80.31). Finally, 9403.30.80.90 acts as a further residual for wooden office furniture not falling into any of the preceding, more specific wood type subcategories.
