9403.82.00 - Of bamboo

HTS code 9403.82.00 specifically classifies furniture constructed primarily from bamboo. This category encompasses a wide array of furniture items, such as tables, chairs, cabinets, shelves, and decorative pieces, where bamboo is the predominant material in their manufacture. The classification is based on the primary structural and aesthetic component, identifying items where bamboo forms the recognizable characteristic of the furniture.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9403.83.00, which covers furniture made of rattan. While both bamboo and rattan are natural plant-based materials often used in furniture, they are botanically distinct and typically possess different physical properties and visual appearances. Furniture classified under 9403.82.00 must be predominantly made of bamboo, not rattan or other similar materials.

Within HTS 9403.82.00, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification based on the specific type of furniture. These subcategories, such as 9403.82.00.01 for cribs, 9403.82.00.02 for juvenile sleeping items, and 9403.82.00.15 for other household furniture, allow for precise identification based on the intended use and design of the bamboo furniture. The final subcategory, 9403.82.00.30, serves as a catch-all for bamboo furniture not otherwise specified.
