HTS code for furniture part: document the part, material, and furniture use

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A furniture part file needs exact part facts. The product may be a chair leg, table base, drawer slide, cabinet door, shelf panel, sofa frame, caster, hinge, knob, cushion, upholstery cover, bed slat, or hardware kit. "Furniture part" is too broad for a defensible record.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The file should identify the part, the furniture it belongs to, and whether the goods are parts, hardware, textiles, or finished furniture.

quick answer

For "hts code for furniture part", collect part name, material, compatible furniture item, dimensions, hardware, finish, upholstery or cushion content, whether assembly is required, set contents, origin, and supplier code.

A wooden chair leg is not the same file as a metal drawer slide, plastic caster, textile cushion cover, glass tabletop, or cabinet door. The part's material and furniture relationship should be documented.

facts to collect for a furniture part

Collect:

Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
Part photos from several angles, labels, mounting points, hardware, packaging, and set photos.
Part type: leg, base, panel, door, drawer slide, hinge, knob, caster, cushion, cover, slat, frame, shelf, or kit.
Material: wood, MDF, metal, aluminum, steel, plastic, glass, textile, leather, foam, or mixed material.
Compatible furniture: chair, table, sofa, bed, cabinet, desk, shelving unit, wardrobe, or other item.
Dimensions, finish, coating, upholstery, foam, hardware, screws, brackets, and assembly role.
Whether the goods are parts only, hardware, replacement parts, unfinished furniture, or complete furniture.
Country of origin and production support.
Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If the shipment includes a kit of several part types, list each part. If the item is already a complete furniture article, say that before review.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

Part identity is unclear.
Material is unsupported.
Compatible furniture article is not documented.
Hardware, dimensions, finish, or assembly role is missing.
Complete furniture versus part status is unclear.
Textile, cushion, foam, or upholstery content is not listed.
Origin is assumed from shipment route.
Supplier code is unsupported.

These gaps can move the review between furniture parts, hardware, textile articles, cushions, finished furniture, glass articles, or metal parts.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the actual article: wooden furniture part, metal hardware, plastic furniture part, upholstered cushion, cabinet door, table leg, drawer slide, glass tabletop, or complete furniture alternative. Each row should cite a material or use fact.

Rejected alternatives should stay in the record. If it is not complete furniture because only legs ship, say that. If the item is generic hardware rather than dedicated furniture, keep that question visible.

authority sources

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for furniture parts, cabinet parts, chair parts, hardware, cushions, and unfinished furniture.

planning path

Start with the part identity. Then write a table for part type, material, furniture use, dimensions, hardware, set contents, origin, and supplier code. If the supplier cannot name the compatible furniture item, keep the file in Missing Facts.

Duty stack notes should include origin and material-specific exposure tied to the candidate path.

planning boundary

This furniture part HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
