Ergonomic office chairs, executive chairs, and task chairs with height-adjustable swivel base are classified under 9401.30. Gaming chairs designed as office seating are 9401.30. The upholstery material (fabric, mesh, leather, PU leather) does not change the heading — the swivel mechanism and height adjustment are the defining features. Chairs without swivel base but with adjustable height are 9401.79 (other). Dental chairs and medical examination chairs are 9402 (medical/dental furniture). Parts of office chairs (armrests, casters, gas cylinders) are 9401.90 when sold separately. EN 1335 (EU) and BIFMA (US) ergonomic standards affect market access but not classification.
