Baby Car Seat / Child Safety Seat — HS Code

Classification Notes

Child car seats — rear-facing infant seats, forward-facing seats, and booster seats — are classified under 9401.71 (upholstered seats with metal frame). The classification as seating under Chapter 94 is confirmed by WCO classification opinions. Anti-dumping duties have been applied in the EU against Chinese-origin child car seats under various measures — always check current TARIC ADD status. Safety certification is mandatory: ECE R44 or newer i-Size (ECE R129) in the EU; FMVSS 213 in the US. Car seats sold without ISOFIX base are classified the same as those with base when sold as a set. The ISOFIX base imported separately is 9401.91 (parts of seats).
