Classification notes
Anti-dumping duties on Chinese wooden bedroom furniture in US (significant rates since 2004). Flammability testing required in many markets. Bulky items mean freight costs are proportionally high. Formaldehyde emission standards (CARB/EPA/EU) apply to composite wood.
Frequent misclassification
Outdoor furniture (garden furniture) has its own subheadings separate from indoor. Lighting fixtures (9405) vs electrical parts of lamps (8536) — the complete fitting is Ch. 94, the switch alone is Ch. 85.
