Heading 9402 is limited to furniture specifically designed for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary use — such as examination tables, operating chairs, and dental chairs with integrated equipment. General-purpose chairs, even those marketed for ergonomic or therapeutic use, fall under 9401. The key test is whether the article is purpose-built for a clinical setting.

Yes. Several product categories within this chapter — including wooden bedroom furniture, wooden cabinets, and mattresses — have been subject to antidumping and/or countervailing duty orders, particularly on goods from China and Vietnam. Importers should check the Commerce Department's ADD/CVD order list for the specific tariff line and country of origin before entry.
