U.S. imports of seats of other materials (not metal or wood frames, nesoi) (HS 940180) totaled $106.0M in July 2026, traded with 85 countries.
Importers of Seats of Other Materials (Not Metal or Wood Frames, NESOI) paid $12.4M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $94.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataSeats whose primary structural frame is neither metal nor wood — including molded plastic chairs, rubber-framed seating, child safety car seats, and infant activity centers — are captured here, with the US schedule subdividing by material (reinforced/laminated plastics versus other rubber or plastics) and end-user (children's products versus household versus general). China leads supply, followed by Mexico, whose USMCA eligibility can benefit qualifying plastic-frame seating. Child safety seats (lines 9401806021 and 9401806023) are subject to NHTSA Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and must meet CPSC requirements, making regulatory compliance as consequential as tariff classification for this product group.

Child safety seats (lines 9401806021 and 9401806023) must comply with NHTSA Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, which governs child restraint systems. Importers are also required to submit a Children's Product Certificate based on CPSC-accredited third-party testing. Non-compliant seats are subject to refusal of entry and recall.
Classification depends on which component provides the essential character. If the plastic shell forms the primary structural and functional element of the seat, classification under the plastic/other-materials heading (940180) is appropriate. If the metal folding mechanism is the defining structural feature, the metal-frame headings (940171 or 940179) may apply. A binding ruling request to CBP can provide certainty for high-volume imports.
