Gaming chairs (racing-style, ergonomic, bucket-seat design) are classified under 9401.71 (upholstered seats with metal frames) — the same heading as office chairs and executive chairs. The 'gaming' marketing designation has no effect on HS classification. A gaming chair with integrated speakers, USB audio jack, and RGB lighting is still 9401.71 — the essential character is seating, not audio or lighting. Gaming cockpit simulator rigs (frame only, holding steering wheel and pedals, no seat) are 9403.20 (other metal furniture). Floor/rocker gaming chairs without legs (sitting directly on the floor) are 9401.80 (other seats). Chair wheels (casters) and gas lift cylinders imported as spare parts are 9401.90.
