Many metal and plastic office furniture products imported from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicable tariff list and rate depend on the specific HTS classification of the product. Importers should verify current Section 301 coverage for their exact HTS subheading with a licensed customs broker.
Seating with a metal frame and upholstered seat is generally classified under the HTS chapter for seats rather than metal furniture, with the primary classification driven by the article's function as a seat. The specific subheading depends on whether the seat is swivel-based, has adjustable height, and the type of upholstery material. Accurate classification requires reviewing the complete product specification.
