Metal filing cabinets (lateral, vertical, 2-drawer, 4-drawer), card-index cabinets, and mobile pedestals for offices are classified under 9403.10. Wooden filing cabinets are 9403.30. Pedestal drawers that attach under a desk are 9403 as furniture, not 8302 (fittings). Fireproof filing cabinets are still 9403.10 — the fireproofing is an attribute of the furniture, not a re-classification trigger. A safe designed to store documents (a document safe) is 8303 (safes), not 9403. The anti-tipping interlocking mechanism (ensuring only one drawer opens at a time) is a safety feature of the furniture. US ADD/CVD on steel furniture from China may apply — verify scope.
