HS Code for Plastic table

A plastic table is classified under HS code 9403.70. As an article of furniture, it is excluded from Chapter 39 (Plastics) per Note 2(x) to Chapter 39 and is instead directed to Chapter 94. Heading 9403 covers other furniture and parts thereof, and subheading 9403.70 is the specific category for plastic furniture. This includes various types of tables, such as garden tables, folding tables, or work tables, provided they are made primarily of plastic. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the table is intended for indoor or outdoor use, as long as it meets the definition of furniture. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6 are applied here to ensure the product is classified by the terms of the headings and subheadings. Even if the table is reinforced with metal or glass, if the plastic component provides the essential character or if it is marketed as a plastic table, 9403.70 is appropriate. This code is used globally to distinguish plastic furniture from wood (9403.30-60) or metal (9403.10-20) alternatives, facilitating accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.

Common Misclassification

Plastic tables are sometimes misclassified under HS code 3924.10, which covers tableware and kitchenware of plastics. While a table is used for dining, it is a piece of furniture, not tableware. Another common error is HS code 9401.80, which is for other seats. While tables and chairs are often sold together, they must be classified separately; chairs go under 9401 and tables under 9403. Additionally, if the table is specifically for medical use, it would move to 9402. Small plastic tray tables for beds might also be confused with 3924.90.
