9403.99.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 9403.99.90, encompasses parts for furniture that are not specifically enumerated under other headings within the "Other furniture and parts thereof" chapter. It serves as a residual category for furniture components that do not fall under more precisely defined material classifications, such as cane, osier, bamboo, rubber, plastics, or textile materials. The key criterion for inclusion here is the absence of a more specific classification for the material composition or intended use of the furniture part.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its lack of specific material limitations. For instance, 9403.99.20 covers parts made from cane, osier, or bamboo, while parts made of rubber or plastics have their own designated sub-classifications. Similarly, 9403.99.50 is reserved for parts crafted from textile materials, excluding cotton. Consequently, 9403.99.90 is intended for furniture parts made from a wide array of other materials, such as wood, metal, glass, or composite materials, when these are not otherwise specified.

To further refine classification, this category is subdivided into more specific uses. The subcategories provide for parts intended for infant furniture like toddler beds, cribs, bassinets, and cradles (9403.99.90.10), and for components related to play yards and other enclosures designed for confining children (9403.99.90.15). Any remaining furniture parts not fitting these specific infant/child use subcategories, and also not fitting the material-specific sibling categories, will fall under the residual "Other" designation at this level.
