HS Code 9402Furniture; medical, surgical, dental or veterinary (e.g. operating tables, hospital beds, dentists' chairs) barbers' chairs; parts
2 six-digit codes · Heading 2 of 6 in Chapter 94 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 9402 is the customs heading for medical furniture such as hospital beds, operating tables and dentists' chairs. Barbers' chairs and parts of these items are covered too.
Heading 9402 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Furniture; medical, surgical, dental or veterinary (e.g. operating tables, hospital beds, dentists' chairs) barbers' chairs; parts” classify either at 940210 or at 940290, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 2 of 6 in Chapter 94, Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings; lamps and lighting fittings, n.e.c.; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like; prefabricated buildings, which runs to 54 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 9402
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 940210 | Chairs; dentists', barbers' or similar chairs having rotating as well as both reclining and elevating movements, and parts thereof |
| 940290 | Furniture; for medical, surgical, veterinary use (e.g. operating tables, examination tables, hospital beds with mechanical fittings) and parts thereof |
What HS code 9402 covers
Think of the furniture you find in a clinic, a hospital ward or a dental surgery. An operating table, an examination table, a hospital bed and a dentist's chair all belong here. So do barbers' chairs, and so do parts for each of these items.
The heading is part of the Harmonized System, the shared customs language used by trading countries. Some traders write it as HSN code 9402. The number and the goods are the same.
Customs officers do not just look at the word "medical". They read the exact wording of the subheading. The sections below show how to apply it.
HS code for hospital beds and dental chairs: 940210 or 940290
Two six-digit codes sit under this heading. Some people write them with a dot, as 9402.10 and 9402.90.
The deciding test for 940210 is movement. If it does all three, it fits. A dentist's chair is the usual example.
Everything else in the medical, surgical and veterinary range falls to 940290. That includes tables and beds, and the wording stresses mechanical fittings on hospital beds. Parts follow the code of the furniture they are made for.
- Dental chair that rotates, reclines and elevates: 940210
- Barbers' chair with the same three movements: 940210
- Operating table: 940290
- Hospital bed with mechanical fittings: 940290
- Examination table: 940290
What if a chair lacks one of the movements?
A chair that only swivels, or only reclines, does not meet the 940210 wording. Do not force it into that code. Compare it with 940290 and with the nearby headings described next.
When you are still unsure, run the product through the HS code classifier before you file. A wrong code can delay a shipment, so it is worth checking first.
9402 vs 9401, 9403 and 9404
Heading 9401 covers seats, and its own text leaves out the seats of 9402. An ordinary office chair or sofa goes to 9401. A dentists' chair does not.
Heading 9403 holds furniture and parts not named elsewhere in the chapter. Because hospital beds with mechanical fittings are named in 940290, a hospital bed is a 9402 product and not a 9403 one. A plain desk or cabinet is the kind of item that goes to 9403.
Heading 9404 is for mattress supports and bedding that is stuffed or fitted with springs, such as mattresses, quilts and pillows. If you ship the mattress alone, look at 9404.
Lighting has its own place in 9405, and prefabricated buildings sit in 9406.
