HS Code for Dresser

A dresser is classified under HS code 9403.50, which specifically covers wooden furniture of a kind used in the bedroom. The Harmonized System classifies furniture based on two primary criteria: the material of construction and the intended environment of use. Heading 9403 is the general heading for 'Other furniture and parts thereof.' Within this heading, the 50-series subheadings are dedicated to wooden furniture. Subheading 9403.50 is reserved for bedroom furniture, which includes dressers, chests of drawers, nightstands, and wardrobes. To qualify for this code, the dresser must be predominantly made of wood. If the dresser includes a mirror, it is still classified here as a single unit under GRI 3(b), provided the mirror is attached and the wooden furniture remains the essential character of the item. This classification is straightforward but requires the importer to confirm that the item is indeed intended for bedroom use rather than for an office or dining room.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

Dressers are frequently misclassified under 9403.60, which is for 'other wooden furniture' (such as dining room or living room furniture). If the dresser is intended for a hallway or living room, 9403.60 is correct, but for bedroom use, 9403.50 is mandatory. Another error is using 9403.20 for metal dressers; the material must be wood for 9403.50. Finally, if a mirror is shipped separately, it may be classified under 7009.92.
