U.S. imports of non-upholstered seats with wooden frames (nesoi) (HS 940169) totaled $50.5M in June 2026, traded with 86 countries.
Importers of Non-Upholstered Seats with Wooden Frames (NESOI) paid $5.8M in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $47.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Wooden-frame seats without upholstery — including bentwood chairs, teak garden furniture, and unpadded dining chairs — are classified here, with the US schedule further subdividing by bentwood construction, teak origin (plantation versus other), household versus non-household use, and children's seating. Vietnam and Indonesia are the leading suppliers, reflecting strong regional hardwood furniture manufacturing capacity. Several 10-digit lines specifically address teak, including plantation-harvested teak seats (9401698066) and other teak (9401698068), requiring importers to document timber sourcing in line with US lacey Act requirements. Chinese-origin goods in this category carry Section 301 exposure, reinforcing the commercial importance of accurate country-of-origin determination.

The Lacey Act requires importers to file a Plant and Plant Product declaration (PPQ Form 505) for wooden furniture containing regulated plant material, including teak. The declaration must identify the scientific name, country of harvest, and quantity of wood. Plantation-grown teak with proper chain-of-custody documentation generally satisfies Lacey Act due-care requirements.
Bentwood refers to wood that has been steamed or otherwise treated to make it pliable and then bent into curved shapes — a technique associated with manufacturers like Thonet. CBP distinguishes bentwood construction from conventionally jointed wooden frames; seats using this method are captured in dedicated lines (e.g., 9401692010, 9401692030) rather than the general wooden-frame lines.
