Office chairs and gaming chairs with gas-lift height adjustment and a swivel base are classified under 9401.30 regardless of upholstery, armrest style, or lumbar support design. Upholstered variants are 9401.31; non-upholstered (mesh-back chairs like Herman Miller Aeron, Steelcase Leap, Secretlab) are 9401.39 in some classifications, though the mesh + foam cushion is typically treated as upholstered for HS purposes. Kneeling chairs and stability ball chairs without a swivel base are 9401.80 (other seats). Executive chairs, conference chairs, and ergonomic task chairs all use 9401.30. Children's swivel chairs and youth gaming chairs (Respawn, X Rocker) also go to 9401.30. Separately imported chair parts: casters are 8302.20; gas lift cylinders are 9401.90 or 8479 depending on assessor; armrests are 9401.90. Salon chairs (hairdresser chairs) with hydraulic lift are different — they fall under 9402.90 (medical/surgical/dental furniture). US tariffs on Chinese-origin office furniture have been subject to Section 301 — verify current rate.
