Office Chair Barcode

There is no unified standard for the barcodes of office chairs, and their coding systems need to be selected according to specific scenarios. Here are the coding rules and examples for different scenarios:

1. HS Code (Customs Commodity Code)
The HS code is an internationally recognized commodity classification system used for customs statistics and trade regulation. Office chairs are generally classified under Category 9401 (seating and their parts), with specific subdivisions depending on functional characteristics. For example:

• 94013000: Adjustable-height rotating seating (such as office swivel chairs), including chairs with pneumatic height adjustment and rotation functions;
• 94016110: Metal-framed seating (if the office chair primarily consists of metal);
• 94016190: Other metal seating (non-rotating or non-adjustable-height metal office chairs).
  The formulation of HS codes is based on the material, function, and structure of the commodity, rather than brand or model, so the same type of office chair may apply to the same code.

2. Tax Classification Code
The tax classification code is used for domestic tax administration and needs to be determined based on material and type. For example:

• 1050201: Wooden chairs (if the main body of the office chair is wooden);
• 1050202: Metal chairs (such as steel-framed office chairs);
• 1050203: Plastic chairs (office chairs primarily made of plastic or with plastic components);
• 1050204: Bamboo and rattan chairs (a small number of office chairs made of bamboo and rattan materials).
  The tax code differs from the HS code and focuses more on domestic tax scenarios, requiring selection based on material and use.

3. Internal Material Code
Enterprises develop internal material coding rules for inventory and production management. For example:

• The material code for the Deli 87049 office chair is 100128708. Such codes typically include information such as brand, model, and batch number, and are designed independently by the enterprise with no unified standard.
• Other enterprises may use a combination of letters and numbers, such as “OFF-CH001” (OFF stands for office, CH stands for chair, and 001 is the serial number).
  Internal enterprise codes are only used within internal systems and are not universal among different enterprises.

4. Commodity Barcode (GTIN)
The commodity barcode (such as EAN-13) is a globally recognized commodity identifier allocated by the China Article Numbering Center. The GTIN code for office chairs needs to be queried through official channels, but specific model codes are rarely provided directly in public information. Consumers can obtain them through product packaging, labels, or official databases, and enterprises need to apply for registration before use.

Summary: The barcode systems for office chairs are diverse and need to be selected according to their use:

• International trade uses HS codes;
• Tax administration uses tax classification codes;
• Internal enterprise management uses customized material codes;
• Commodity circulation uses GTIN codes.
  For specific codes, the scenario needs to be clarified, and detailed product information (such as material, function, brand, etc.) needs to be provided.
