Last updated: July 2026 data

Wooden-frame seating not captured by more specific categories — including dining chairs, accent chairs, and upholstered wood-frame sofas — represents one of the most broadly traded furniture classifications in US import data. Solid wood and engineered-wood frames are both covered, and the upholstery material (fabric, leather, or none) does not change the heading. Importers sourcing wooden furniture should be aware that this category has historically been among those most exposed to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, and country-of-origin determinations for multi-country production are a recurring compliance challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does country-of-origin determination work for wooden-frame seats assembled in one country from components made in another?

For furniture, US Customs and Border Protection applies a substantial transformation test: the country where the frame is assembled and the seat takes its essential character is generally the country of origin. However, when antidumping orders are in play, CBP scrutinizes whether assembly operations in a third country constitute circumvention, making detailed production records and supplier declarations essential.

Does the upholstery material — fabric versus leather — affect the classification of a wooden-frame seat?

At the heading level, upholstery material does not change the classification of a wooden-frame seat. However, at the HTS subheading level, upholstery type (fabric, leather, or unupholstered) can determine the specific tariff line and its associated duty rate, so importers should confirm the correct 10-digit code with a licensed customs broker.
