Last updated: July 2026 dataBamboo and osier seating has grown rapidly as a design-forward alternative to rattan and wood frames, and the single tariff line 9401590000 captures all such seats not elsewhere specified — making material identification the pivotal classification question. Vietnam leads US imports under this heading, reflecting the country's well-developed bamboo furniture manufacturing base, with Indonesia and China also prominent suppliers. Because Chinese-origin goods in this furniture category are subject to Section 301 tariffs, origin documentation and supply-chain traceability are especially important for importers sourcing across multiple Southeast Asian countries. Seats of true rattan are excluded and must be classified under the dedicated rattan heading.

Section 301 tariffs target goods of Chinese origin; Vietnamese-origin bamboo seats are not subject to Section 301. However, CBP scrutinizes country-of-origin claims in furniture categories where Chinese manufacturers have relocated production, so robust origin documentation — including manufacturing records — is advisable.
Heading 940153 is reserved exclusively for rattan seats. Heading 940159 covers seats made from cane (other than rattan), osier (willow), bamboo, and structurally similar vegetable materials. When a seat combines materials, classification follows the material that gives the article its essential character.
