Seats convertible into beds sit in <b>9401.40<\/b> inside heading 9401, not in the bed headings of 9403 or 9404. The test is whether the article\u2019s primary function is sitting and it converts; a fixed bed with a sofa look does not belong here.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details hs-faq-item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Does the frame material really change the code?<\/summary>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. In 9401 the six-digit branches split by frame material: wooden frames at 9401.61 (upholstered) and 9401.69 (other), metal frames at 9401.71 and 9401.79. A supplier quoting \u201c9401.61\u201d for a steel-frame sofa is quoting the wrong branch.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details hs-faq-item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How is a modular sectional classified?<\/summary>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each unit is classified on its own function first. Corner units, single seats and chaises usually fall in the same upholstered-seat branch when imported together, but a set presented as a set is classified by the component giving it its essential character. Say on the invoice whether the units are sold as one set or separately.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details hs-faq-item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can I use the supplier\u2019s HS code?<\/summary>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use it as a starting point, not as your declaration. The importer of record is responsible for the code declared at entry, and a supplier code written for export from China is not a national import classification.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details hs-faq-item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Where does a rattan or wicker sofa go?<\/summary>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seats of cane, osier, bamboo or similar materials have their own branches \u2014 9401.52 for bamboo, 9401.53 for rattan, 9401.59 for other \u2014 before the upholstered wooden\/metal split is reached.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details hs-faq-item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What should I send my customs broker for a sofa shipment?<\/summary>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Product photos from three angles, frame material and construction, overall dimensions, filling type, whether any unit converts into a bed, and the invoice line showing set versus separate units. That is usually enough to confirm the branch without a laboratory test.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home\/China Furniture\/Furniture HS codes\/Sofa HS codes Seats \/ heading 9401 Sofa HS codes,branch by branch Frame, filling and whether it converts into a bed decide the six-digit branch \u2014 not the name on the catalogue.
