Overview
This HTS classification, 9403.30.80.90, covers "Other" wooden furniture of a kind used in offices that does not fall under any of the more specific material-based subcategories. This includes a wide array of office furniture constructed primarily from wood, such as desks, tables, chairs, cabinets, bookcases, and filing units, where the type of wood used is not specifically listed in the preceding sibling categories. The key defining characteristic is its intended use within an office environment.
This "Other" category serves as a residual classification for wooden office furniture. It specifically excludes furniture made from the woods enumerated in sibling categories such as Padauk or Narra (9403.30.80.01), Rosewood, Palissander, Cocobolo, Bois de Rose, Kingwood, Tulipwood, or Blackwood (9403.30.80.05), Teak (9403.30.80.21), and Wenge (9403.30.80.31). If an office furniture item is made from any of these specific hardwoods, it must be classified under the respective code.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under 9403.30.80.90. Classification into this category relies on confirming that the item is indeed wooden office furniture and that its constituent wood does not match any of the more specifically defined categories at the same level. In practice, this means the classifier must ensure the item's primary material is wood and its function aligns with office use, and then rule out the explicitly listed hardwood types.
