Last updated: August 2026 dataExamination tables, operating room furniture, veterinary treatment tables, and similar specialized clinical furnishings fall here — excluding dentists' chairs, which classify separately. The US schedule divides the heading into hospital furniture (9402900010) and other medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture not elsewhere specified (9402900020), a distinction that matters when importers are determining whether a product's primary design intent is inpatient hospital use or outpatient/veterinary application. Importers should note that furniture incorporating electronic or mechanical patient-positioning systems may require careful classification review to confirm it does not fall under a medical device heading instead. Admissibility and classification can be complex; consult a licensed customs broker or the relevant agency.

Hospital furniture (9402900010) is generally understood to cover furnishings designed specifically for inpatient hospital environments — such as adjustable hospital beds and overbed tables. The NESOI line (9402900020) captures other medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture not meeting that narrower definition, including examination tables, veterinary treatment tables, and similar outpatient or specialty-clinic pieces. When a product straddles both descriptions, the importer should document the item's primary design intent and consult a licensed customs broker.
Potentially yes. If a powered table's primary function is therapeutic or diagnostic rather than purely supportive furniture, CBP may consider classification under Chapter 90 medical instrument headings. The key classification test is whether the article's essential character is that of furniture or of a medical apparatus. Detailed product specifications and intended use documentation are critical when making this determination.
