HS Code for Bamboo table

A bamboo table is classified under Harmonized System (HS) code 940382. This classification falls within Chapter 94 of the HS, which covers "Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings; lamps and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like; prefabricated buildings." Specifically, heading 9403 covers "Other furniture and parts thereof." The subheading 940382 is designated for furniture of bamboo.

Common Misclassification

Bamboo tables can sometimes be misclassified with other furniture or bamboo articles. HS 9401 (Seats, whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof) is specifically for seating furniture, not tables. HS 940360 (Other wooden furniture) is a broader category for furniture made of wood. While bamboo is a plant material, its specific designation in 940382 takes precedence over the general wooden furniture code when the item is predominantly bamboo. HS 4420 (Wood marquetry and inlaid wood; caskets and cases for jewellery or cutlery, and similar articles, of wood; statuettes and other ornaments, of wood; wooden articles of furniture not falling in Chapter 94) is for smaller, often decorative, wooden articles or specific furniture not covered elsewhere, which does not apply to functional tables.
