🎯 Classification Logic
The core basis for classification is: 1. The material is wood (including solid wood, engineered wood, etc.); 2. The use is in the bedroom; 3. It is floor-standing or wall-mounted furniture, not a seat. According to the notes to Chapter 94 of the Import and Export Tariff, furniture refers to floor-standing or wall-mounted appliances used for placing, hanging or supporting articles. Subheading 940350 explicitly refers to wooden bedroom furniture, so the conditions of material, use and function must all be met. If it is a wooden seat, even if used in the bedroom, it should be classified under 9401; if it is wooden kitchen furniture, it is classified under 940340. 9401 Seats: 9401 covers seats (such as chairs and sofas), regardless of material; 940350 covers only non-seat wooden bedroom furniture, such as bed frames and bedside tables. 940340 Wooden kitchen furniture: 940340 specifically refers to wooden furniture for kitchen use, such as cabinets and sideboards; 940350 specifically refers to bedroom use, with a different use. 940360 Other wooden furniture: 940360 covers wooden furniture for living rooms, dining rooms, offices, etc.; 940350 is limited to bedroom use, and use is the key distinction. 940390 Furniture parts: 940390 covers furniture parts, such as wooden drawers and cabinet doors; 940350 is complete furniture. If parts are imported separately, they should be classified under 940390. Is the material wood? Is the use in the bedroom? Is it floor-standing or wall-mounted? Is it not a seat? Is it not medical furniture?
