9403.50.40.00 - Bent-wood furniture 🖩

This HTS classification, 9403.50.40.00, specifically designates bent-wood furniture. This category encompasses furniture crafted using wood that has been shaped through bending techniques, often involving steam or moisture, to achieve curved forms. Examples include bentwood chairs, tables, and stools where the characteristic curvature of the wood is a defining feature of the design and construction.

While the parent category, "Wooden furniture of a kind used in the bedroom," broadly covers wooden furniture for this room, this subcategory narrows the scope to focus on the manufacturing process and material characteristic of bent-wood construction. The sibling category, "Other," would encompass wooden bedroom furniture that does not fall under the specific bent-wood designation, such as traditionally joined or assembled wooden pieces.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into 9403.50.40.00 relies on the clear identification of bent-wood as the primary construction method and material, irrespective of its intended final use, though it is often associated with bedroom furniture. The emphasis is on the unique shaping of the wood itself.
