Wood furniture - wooden table harmonized system code

Product Overview Wood Furniture - Wooden Table classified under HS Code 940360 refers to finished tables primarily constructed from solid wood or engineered wood products, designed for domestic, commercial, and industrial use. These tables typically feature standardized dimensions ranging from small side tables (approximately 500 mm x 500 mm x 450 mm) to large dining or conference tables (up to 2400 mm x 1200 mm x 750 mm). The manufacturing process involves precision machining, surface finishing (such as varnishing or lamination), and quality control to ensure durability, dimensional stability, and aesthetic appeal. Under HS Code 940360, wooden tables are sub-classified into various types including dining tables, office desks, coffee tables, and conference tables, differentiated by design, function, and wood species used. Commercially, these wooden tables serve critical roles across food service establishments, retail outlets, corporate offices, and processing units where robust, ergonomic, and visually consistent furniture is essential. Their value proposition lies in sustainable sourcing, compliance with international quality standards (e.g., ISO 14001 for environmental management), and adaptability to diverse operational environments, positioning them competitively within global supply chains. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 940360 is structured under Chapter 94 (Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings), with Heading 9403 (Other furniture and parts thereof), and Subheading 940360 specifically denoting wooden furniture including tables. The classification rationale is based on the primary material composition (wood) and the product’s function as furniture, distinguishing it from metal or plastic counterparts. For trade and customs purposes, wooden tables are typically packaged using protective materials such as corrugated cardboard, foam padding, and shrink wrap to prevent damage during transit. Preservation methods focus on moisture control and pest treatment, including fumigation or heat treatment compliant with ISPM 15 standards to meet phytosanitary requirements. Shipping often involves containerization with load securing protocols to minimize movement and impact. Quality standards are aligned with international norms such as ISO 9001 for quality management systems and adherence to the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement, ensuring transparent documentation and classification consistency. These specifications support accurate tariff application, customs clearance, and facilitate smooth cross-border trade operations.
