Classification of dental chair under HS 9402.10
Dental chairs are classified under HS code 9402.10. This code is designated for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture. Specifically, it covers chairs that are designed for professional use and incorporate mechanical features such as rotating, reclining, and elevating movements. A dental chair is a specialized piece of equipment that allows the practitioner to position the patient optimally for oral examinations and procedures. The classification includes the chair itself and its integrated mechanical components, such as hydraulic or electric motors. Even if the chair is imported with certain attachments, it is classified here as long as the chair remains the principal component. This heading is part of Chapter 94, which covers furniture and bedding, but provides a specific carve-out for specialized medical seating.

Codes often confused with 9402.10
Common mistake. A common mistake is classifying dental chairs under HS code 9401, which covers general-purpose seats. However, 9402 is the more specific heading for medical furniture. Another misclassification occurs with HS code 9018.49, which covers dental instruments and units. If the chair is part of a complex "dental unit" that includes the drill, spittoon, and light on a single base, it might be classified under 9018, but the chair alone belongs in 9402.10.

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).
