Plastic Adirondack Chair with Fabric Cushion from Japan

A classic sloped plastic chair designed for outdoor patios and gardens, featuring a contoured seat and back made of weather-resistant polypropylene with a removable textile-covered cushion for comfort. It falls under HTS 9401.80.4015 because it is an outdoor seat of plastics with textile-covered cushions, excluding medical or barber types. The plastic frame and fabric elements meet the specific subheading criteria for non-household, non-upholstered plastic seats.

Import Tips

• Verify the plastic composition (e.g

• polypropylene) and textile content via lab tests to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to heading 9401.71

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'outdoor use' and 'textile-covered cushions' to support 9401.80.4015; lack of this can lead to defaulting to broader 'other' categories

• Ensure cushions are permanently attached or described as integral to prevent splitting into parts under 9401.90
