Last updated: August 2026 dataUpholstered wooden-frame seating is one of the most tariff-line-dense furniture categories in the US schedule, with subdivisions tracking household versus non-household use, teak species (plantation-harvested versus other), and children's seating — each carrying potential duty-rate differences. Vietnam is the leading supplier to the US market, followed by Mexico, whose proximity and USMCA eligibility can offer duty advantages for qualifying goods. Chinese-origin upholstered wooden seats are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a factor that has accelerated sourcing shifts toward Vietnam and Cambodia. Teak-framed chairs require additional documentation distinguishing plantation-grown teak from other sources, as reflected in separate 10-digit lines such as 9401612011 and 9401612015.

Plantation-grown teak (lines such as 9401612011 and 9401612031) may carry a different duty rate than teak from non-plantation sources (9401612015, 9401612035). Importers must provide documentation — typically a certificate of origin or forest management certificate — confirming the teak's cultivation status to support the correct line.
Classification follows the article's essential character. A sofa where upholstery is the dominant feature in terms of value, surface area, and function would generally fall under the upholstered wooden-frame heading (940161). Mixed-construction pieces should be reviewed with a licensed customs broker, as CBP may apply GRI 3(b) essential-character analysis.
