Last updated: July 2026 dataNon-wooden seat parts span an unusually broad material and end-use range — from leather and textile covers cut to shape for motor vehicle seats, to rattan and bamboo seat parts, rubber and plastic components for children's products, mechanically collapsible sofa-bed deck mechanisms, and aircraft seat parts — making this one of the most classification-sensitive headings in Chapter 94. Mexico and Canada lead supply, driven largely by automotive seat-component trade integrated into North American vehicle manufacturing under USMCA. The motor-vehicle seat-part lines (9401991010 through 9401991085) are particularly active, and importers should confirm whether parts qualify as OEM automotive components, as that determination affects both classification and potential Section 232 or other trade-remedy exposure.

A textile cover cut and shaped specifically for a seat — and not suitable for general use as a textile article — is classified as a seat part under 9401991020 or 9401999021. Generic textile material that has not been cut to the shape of a specific seat would remain in Chapter 63. The key test is whether the article's shape and construction commit it exclusively to use as a seat component.
Mechanically collapsible sofa-bed seat deck components have a dedicated line at 9401999030 under this heading. This specificity reflects CBP's recognition that these mechanisms are functionally distinct from simple seat frames or cushion supports, and importers should use this line rather than a general 'seat parts NESOI' line to avoid classification disputes.
