Gaming chair Hs Code

Gaming chair harmonized system code

Product Overview The gaming chair classified under HS Code 940139 is a specialized seating apparatus designed primarily for ergonomic support and comfort during extended computer gaming sessions. This product typically features adjustable components including lumbar support, reclining backrests, height-adjustable armrests, and swivel bases, constructed from high-density foam padding, durable synthetic leather or mesh fabric upholstery, and reinforced steel or aluminum frames. The chair is manufactured through advanced assembly processes incorporating precision machining and quality control measures to ensure durability, stability, and user safety. Within HS Code 940139, gaming chairs fall under the broader category of seats with wooden or metal frames, including office, desk, and other specialized seating furniture. These chairs are predominantly utilized in commercial and residential gaming environments but also find applications in e-sports arenas, internet cafes, and professional workstations where extended seating comfort is critical. The product’s market positioning hinges on ergonomic design, material resilience, and compliance with international safety standards, thereby offering a competitive advantage in both domestic and international markets. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The gaming chair is classified under HS Code 940139, which corresponds to Chapter 94 (Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings), Heading 9401 (Seats (other than those of heading 9402), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof), Subheading 940139 (Seats with metal frames). This classification is based on the chair’s structural composition—primarily metal framing combined with upholstered seating elements—distinguishing it from wooden-framed or plastic seating furniture. Trade professionals must note packaging requirements typically involve disassembled components secured within reinforced cartons or crates to optimize shipping efficiency and prevent damage during transit. Preservation methods may include anti-corrosion treatments for metal parts and moisture-resistant wrapping to maintain product integrity. Quality standards adhere to ISO 7173 (Furniture—Test methods for strength and durability) and relevant ASTM or EN safety certifications to ensure compliance with WTO and customs regulations. Documentation should accurately reflect the product’s material composition, dimensions (commonly ranging from 120-140 cm in height, 60-70 cm in width), and gross weight (approximately 15-25 kg), facilitating streamlined customs clearance and tariff application.
