Digits 5-6 10: Subheading 9402.10, specifically barbers' chairs and similar chairs. This subheading further distinguishes barbers' chairs from medical furniture. Barbers' chairs usually have functions such as lifting, rotating, and tilting, and are specially designed for haircutting and beauty care. Barbers' chairs are classified under 9402.10 rather than 9401 because they have the typical characteristics of professional barbers' chairs: adjustable height, rotation, tilting backrest, often with footrests and armrests, used in professional places such as barbershops and beauty salons. 9401, on the other hand, covers general seats and does not have these professional functions. If a barber's chair has no mechanical adjustment device, it may be classified under 9401.

The core basis for classification is the function and use of the commodity. A barber chair must have the characteristics of a professional barber chair: adjustable height, rotation, tilting backrest, used in barbershops or beauty salons. If it has only ordinary seating functions, it is classified under 9401. At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish medical chairs, which are used in medical settings and have special medical functions, classified under 9402.90. 9401 Ordinary seats: 9401 covers general seats and does not have the adjustment functions of professional barber chairs, and has a wide range of uses, while barber chairs are specially used for haircutting and beauty care. 9402.90 Other medical chairs: 9402.90 covers medical, surgical, etc. chairs, such as dental chairs and surgical chairs, with dedicated medical functions; barber chairs have no medical use. 9403 Other furniture: 9403 covers furniture not elsewhere specified, such as cabinets and tables; barber chairs are special seats and should be classified under 9402. 9018 Medical instruments: 9018 covers medical equipment; for example, dental chairs with treatment functions may be classified under 9018, while barber chairs have no treatment function. Is it used in a barbershop or beauty salon? Does it have lifting, rotating, and tilting functions? Does it have no medical treatment function? Is it not an ordinary household seat? Is it clearly distinguished from 9401 and 9402.90?
