HS Code 9403Furniture and parts thereof, n.e.c. in chapter 94
12 six-digit codes · Heading 3 of 6 in Chapter 94 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 9403 is the customs heading for general furniture that is not a seat, medical furniture or bedding. It covers metal, wooden, plastic, bamboo and rattan pieces, plus furniture parts.
The WCO writes heading 9403 as a residual bucket: goods of Chapter 94that answer to “Furniture and parts thereof, n.e.c. in chapter 94” and that no more specific heading in the chapter already claims. It still carries 12 six-digit codes, 940310 through 940399, so “other” is not the end of the classification here. The heading is number 3 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.

What HS code 9403 covers
Heading 9403 is the Harmonized System home for everyday furniture. Think of desks, kitchen cupboards, wardrobes, shelves and tables. Customs classification works by elimination. Seats, medical furniture and bedding have their own headings, so the furniture left over, and its parts, belongs here.
You may also see it written as HSN code 9403 or HTS code 9403. Countries add extra digits after the first six, but the six-digit subheadings follow the Harmonized System everywhere. They sort goods by material first and by use second:
- Metal furniture: 940310 and 940320
- Wooden furniture: 940330, 940340, 940350 and 940360
- Plastic furniture: 940370
- Bamboo, rattan and cane furniture: 940382, 940383 and 940389
- Furniture parts: 940391 and 940399
How to choose the right 9403 subheading
Work through the questions in order and stop at the first answer that fits. First, decide if you hold a whole piece or only a part. Parts have their own codes. Second, find the main material of a whole piece. Third, for metal and wood, check what the piece is made for.
Metal splits in two. A steel office desk goes to 940310, while a metal garden table goes to 940320. Wood splits in four. A wooden office desk takes 940330, a kitchen cupboard takes 940340 and a wardrobe takes 940350. A wooden table for a hall or a shop takes 940360.
Plastic has one code, 940370, so use does not matter. Always compare your product with the exact wording of the subheading. If you are unsure, try the HS code classifier.
Difference between HS 9401 and 9403
The most common mistake is putting chairs under 9403. Seats belong to heading 9401, even when they turn into beds. That includes operating tables, hospital beds and barbers' chairs.
Soft goods are also outside this heading. Mattress supports, mattresses, quilts, cushions and pillows sit in 9404. Lamps and light fittings sit in 9405. Prefabricated buildings sit in 9406. Check these five first. If none of them fits, come back to 9403.
Furniture parts: 940391 and 940399
Parts have their own pair of codes. The split depends on the material of the part, not on the material of the finished piece.
So a metal leg made for a wooden table is not a wooden part. Look at what the part itself is made from. Wood goes to 940391 and every other material goes to 940399. Anyone who searches for the HTS code for parts of furniture of heading 9403 should start with these two.
