Classification of barber chair under HS 9402.10
Barber chairs are classified under HS code 940210. This code is specifically designated for dentists', barbers', or similar chairs that possess both rotating and elevating movements, as well as reclining capabilities. The classification is governed by the specific functional requirements outlined in the Chapter 94 notes. To qualify for 940210, the chair must be more than a simple seat; it must incorporate mechanical or hydraulic systems that allow a professional to position a client for specialized services. This includes the ability to raise or lower the seat height and tilt the backrest. These chairs are often heavy-duty and include integrated headrests and footrests. The classification also includes parts of these chairs, provided they are identifiable as being solely or principally for use with such furniture.

Codes often confused with 9402.10
Common mistake. Barber chairs are often misclassified under 940171 or 940180, which are general categories for upholstered seats. However, the presence of the specific mechanical movements (rotating, reclining, and elevating) mandates the use of 940210. Another error is confusing them with 940290, which is for other medical or surgical furniture. While 940210 covers barber and dentist chairs, 940290 is reserved for operating tables, hospital beds with mechanical fittings, and similar equipment. If a chair only rotates but does not elevate or recline, it may fall back into 9401.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
