The woods used include, maple, galuchat, ash mahogany, ebony of macassar, boxwood, sycamore, amaranth, zebrano, purple wood, and beech wood. The applicable subheading for wooden furniture (other than seats and tables with glass tops) will be 9403.60.8080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Other furniture and parts thereof: Other wooden furniture: Other, Other.” The rate of duty will be Free. We are unable to issue a tariff classification ruling on the wooden chairs, stools and tables with glass tops because we need additional information. Please indicate whether the chairs and stools are upholstered, and whether or not the stools have backs. Please provide pictures of the table with glass tops as well as cost breakdowns of the component materials.
