Overview
This HTS category, 9403.99.50, specifically covers parts for furniture that are made of textile materials, excluding those made of cotton. These parts are intended for use in a wide array of furniture items, excluding the specific types of furniture covered in higher levels of the tariff schedule. The classification emphasizes the material composition of the part, requiring it to be textile-based but not cotton.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 9403.99.20 covers furniture parts made from cane, osier, bamboo, or similar natural fibrous materials. Another sibling category (not explicitly coded but implied by the hierarchy) covers parts made of rubber or plastics. Therefore, 9403.99.50 is distinct because it pertains exclusively to textile parts that are not cotton.
Within this category, further distinctions are made in the subcategories. 9403.99.50.05 and 9403.99.50.10 are specific to parts used for children's furniture, such as toddler beds, cribs, bassinets, cradles, and play yards. The residual subcategory, 9403.99.50.80, captures all other textile (non-cotton) furniture parts that do not fall into these more specific child-oriented classifications. This hierarchical structure allows for precise classification based on both material and intended application.
