Other metal furniture

HTS code 9403.20.00 classifies imports of: Other metal furniture. This line sits within Chapter 94 (Seats (other than those of heading 9402), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof:), Section XX (Miscellaneous Manufactured Articles), and is catalogued as a tariff line in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. The schedule specifies ad valorem (percentage-of-value) duty for this line. Getting the classification right is the single most important step in import compliance — a wrong code can mean overpayment of duty, shipment delays, or penalties at the border.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 9403.20.00 is Free, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. No special preferential rate is listed for this line, so FTA origin alone will not reduce the general duty. The Column 2 rate of 45% applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea — a much higher historical "full" tariff. Because the general rate is Free, most imports under this code enter the US without duty, though anti-dumping, countervailing, or Section 301 tariffs can still apply depending on country of origin.

Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
