Teak Wood Upholstered Armchair from Mexico

This upholstered armchair features a solid teak wood frame, designed for residential living rooms with cushioned fabric seating and backrest. It falls under HTS 9401.61.20.35 as an upholstered chair with a teak frame, not convertible into a bed and excluding office or medical uses. The 'other' subheading applies since it doesn't fit specific exclusions like swivel or reclining mechanisms.

Import Tips

• Verify teak wood origin with CITES documentation if from restricted species to ensure compliance with endangered wood regulations

• Label fiber content of upholstery accurately per FTC rules; mismatches lead to CBP holds and fines

• Avoid classifying as office furniture (9401.71) if marketed for home use—provide retail packaging evidence
