What HTS 9401.61.60.11 Covers
This code covers seats with wooden frames that are upholstered, intended for household use. Think of dining chairs, accent chairs, and similar upholstered wooden furniture people use in the home. It sits under heading 9401, which covers seats and their parts.
Notes for Importers
The key distinguishing features here are a wooden frame plus upholstery plus household (rather than office or commercial) end use. Non-upholstered wooden chairs fall under a different subheading (9401.69), and metal-frame upholstered seats fall under 9401.71. Importers often confuse the household breakout with the other or non-household statistical suffixes, so confirm the actual end use and frame material before classifying.

Frequently Asked Questions
What products are classified under 9401.61.60.11?
Upholstered chairs and seats built on a wooden frame that are designed for household use, such as dining chairs, armchairs, and accent chairs for the home.

No. Wooden-frame chairs that are not upholstered are generally classified under subheading 9401.69, not here.
What if the seat has a metal frame instead of wood?
Upholstered seats with metal frames are classified under 9401.71, so the frame material changes the code even when the upholstery is similar.
