Import Duty on Wooden Furniture
The US general (MFN) import duty rate for Wooden Furniture (HTS 9403.60.40.00) is Free, per USITC HTS release 2026HTSRev22. This is a planning estimate: Section 301, Section 232, AD/CVD, quotas and MPF/HMF are excluded and must be added separately.
Wooden furniture enters duty-free. On this category the base rate contributes nothing and the whole landed cost comes from elsewhere.
HTS lines and general duty rates
Read from the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule, release 2026HTSRev22. USITC HTS, verify line 9403.60.40.00.
| HTS code | Description | General rate | Special rate (FTA) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9403.60.40.00 | Bent-wood furniture | Free | |
| 9403.60.80 | Other | Free |
What changes by country of origin
The MFN rate is the same regardless of where the goods are made. Everything below it is not.
| Origin | Base rate | US preference | What else attaches |
|---|---|---|---|
| China | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | Section 301 lists 1-4A apply to most consumer goods on top of MFN; the 2026 forced-labor 301 action adds a further layer. |
| Vietnam | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty. The 2026 forced-labor 301 action applies. No US FTA, so MFN is the base. |
| India | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. GSP expired, so MFN is the base. |
| Thailand | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. |
| Indonesia | MFN rate above | No US preference on these codes | No Section 301 list duty and no US FTA. Forced-labor 301 applies. |
| Mexico | MFN rate above | No USMCA line on these codes | USMCA: duty-free when the goods meet the rules of origin and the preference is claimed. MFN applies otherwise. |
Free-trade programs named on the lines in this group: none. A preference only applies when the goods meet that program's rules of origin and the claim is made on entry. This page does not estimate Section 301 list rates or anti-dumping duty; enter the applicable Section 301 rate in the calculator yourself and verify current list coverage and exclusions at the USTR exclusion notices.
What decides the rate
Both lines in 9403.60, bent-wood furniture and other wooden furniture, carry a Free general rate. So a wooden furniture importer gets no signal at all from the MFN column. What decides the bill is the Section 232 treatment of wood products, the Section 301 position for the origin, and freight — furniture is bulky, so HMF at 0.125% rides on a large value.
Where this goes wrong
Furniture knocked down for shipment is still furniture. Parts of furniture are classified separately and can carry a different rate, so a flat-pack order needs the line split checked.
Inputs and assumptions
| Item | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Duty rate source | USITC HTS, release 2026HTSRev22 | Read at build time from the official schedule export. The general rate column. |
| Rate range in this category | Free across 2 lines | The spread within one product category is the reason a category average is not usable. |
| MPF | 0.3464% of entered value, min $34.58, max $670.86 | CBP User Fee Table, FY2027. The ad valorem rate is statutory; the floor and cap are adjusted each October. |
| HMF | 0.125% of entered value, ocean cargo only | CBP User Fee Table. Not charged on air freight. |
| Customs value | Transaction value, normally the price paid for the goods | Freight and insurance are not part of US customs value, unlike CIF jurisdictions. |
Questions this page answers
Is wooden furniture duty-free in the US?
The general rate is Free on both lines in 9403.60. That means the schedule gives no guidance on cost, and the landed cost is driven by Section 232 treatment of wood products, Section 301 by origin, and freight.
Does flat-pack furniture classify differently?
Unassembled furniture is still furniture. Parts of furniture are separate headings, so a flat-pack order needs the line split checked rather than assumed.
Does this estimate include anti-dumping duty?
No. Anti-dumping and countervailing duty are case-specific and can exceed every other layer combined, so they are outside the estimate by design. The calculator covers base duty, the Section 301 and 232 layers you enter, the merchandise processing fee and the harbor maintenance fee.
