9403.99.30 - Of reinforced or laminated plastics
Sub-classifications

9403 9930 05
Overview
This HTS classification, 9403.99.30, specifically designates parts for furniture that are constructed from reinforced or laminated plastics. These parts are intended for use with a wide variety of furniture items falling under the broader Chapter 94 scope. The defining characteristic for this subheading is the material composition; the plastic must be either reinforced (e.g., with fibers) or laminated (multiple layers bonded together), distinguishing it from parts made of simple or unreinforced plastics.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9403.99.40 ("Other"), which covers parts of furniture made of rubber or plastics that do not meet the specific criteria of reinforced or laminated plastics. Therefore, the key differentiator lies in the advanced manufacturing or composition of the plastic material, such as fiberglass-reinforced plastics or high-pressure laminates, used in the construction of these furniture components.
Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the intended application of these reinforced or laminated plastic parts. Subcategories such as those for toddler beds, cribs, bassinets, cradles, and play yards or other child confinement enclosures provide specific destinations for these components. The remaining "Other" subcategory captures any reinforced or laminated plastic furniture parts not specifically enumerated in the more granular subdivisions, ensuring comprehensive coverage within this material-specific grouping.
