Seats (other than those of heading 9402 ), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof This heading includes sets of a table and chairs, where the table is designed for other purposes than dining while sitting on the seats (chairs, stools, deck-chairs, armchairs, couches etc.). Generally, these tables are too small for dining and they are inferior to the seats e.g. in size. Consequently, the seats give the set its essential character within the meaning of GIR 3(b).

Examples of sets falling under heading 9401 : For the purposes of this heading, any reference to bamboo applies only to vegetable materials of heading 1401 .
