Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The primary material of the stool is crucial. If it's predominantly wood, 9403.60.80.93 is likely. If it has a wooden frame with other materials, 9401.69.40.31 might be more appropriate.
- Frame Construction: Is the wood a structural frame, or is it more decorative?
- Intended Use: While a shoe changing stool is generally household, confirm this is its primary purpose.
- Detailed Inspection: A customs officer will likely inspect the stool to determine the correct classification.
- Documentation: Be prepared to provide detailed material composition information and a clear description of the stool's construction.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2, 2025.
- Consider 3926.30.10.00: If the stool includes plastic handles or knobs, these components may need to be classified separately under HS Code 3926.30.10.00 (Fittings for furniture, coachwork or the like: Handles and knobs) with a tariff of 44.0%.
