U.S. imports of upholstered seats with metal frames (nesoi) (HS 940171) totaled $109.1M in April 2026, traded with 66 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMetal-framed upholstered seating — spanning office chairs, lounge chairs, children's highchairs, infant swings, and bouncers — is widely traded and subject to Section 301 tariffs when of Chinese origin, which remains the dominant source for this heading. Mexico and Vietnam are significant alternative suppliers; Mexican-origin goods may qualify for preferential duty treatment under USMCA for shipments meeting applicable rules of origin. The US schedule breaks out children's products (highchairs, booster seats, walkers, bouncers, swings, activity centers) into dedicated 10-digit lines, reflecting CPSC safety-standard considerations that importers should address alongside tariff classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Products such as highchairs, booster seats, infant walkers, and swings classified under this heading are subject to CPSC mandatory safety standards. Importers must ensure compliance with applicable ASTM standards and may need to provide a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) based on third-party testing before the goods can be sold in the US market.
Seats designed and marketed for use in motor vehicles are classified under Chapter 94 vehicle-seat provisions rather than this general heading. The key factor is whether the seat is purpose-built for vehicular installation — including mounting hardware and safety-belt attachment points — versus a freestanding seat that merely has a metal frame.
