Office Chair Classification Code

Admin October 19, 2026

There are various types of classification codes for office chairs, depending on their purpose and standards, mainly including national standard classification codes and tax classification codes.

National Standard Classification Codes According to Chinese national standards (such as the GB/T series specifications), the classification codes for office chairs are usually composed of a combination of numbers or letters, reflecting their core characteristics through coding rules. For example, specific number segments in the code may correspond to size ranges (such as seat width and height), load-bearing capacity (such as standard load-bearing of 50kg or over 100kg), or adjustment functions (such as whether they have height adjustment, armrest rotation functions, etc.). These codes are mainly used for product production, quality inspection, and industry management, helping enterprises standardize product parameters and meet compliance requirements.

Tax Classification Codes for Goods and Services The tax code for office chairs falls under the 'Furniture' category and adopts a 19-digit hierarchical structure:

  • First digit: Identifies the major category (such as 'Goods');
  • Second to third digits: Medium category (such as 'Furniture');
  • Fourth to fifth digits: Minor category (such as 'Chairs and Stools');
  • Subsequent digits: Further subdivide by material, purpose, etc. When issuing invoices, taxpayers need to select the corresponding code. For example, wooden office chairs are classified under 1050201, metal office chairs under 1050202, plastic office chairs under 1050203, bamboo and rattan materials under 1050204, and other new composite materials under 1050209. If the office chair has special functions (such as gaming chairs, ergonomic chairs), the code may need to be determined by combining the material and purpose.

Differences in Application Scenarios of Codes National standard codes focus on technical parameter management and are suitable for production and quality inspection processes; tax codes serve financial accounting and tax declaration purposes and must strictly match the attributes of the goods. For example, when an enterprise purchases an office chair with a metal frame and mesh seat cushion and needs to issue an invoice, it should select the tax code 1050202 (metal chair) rather than choosing other codes based solely on material or function.

Precautions Actual codes may vary due to regional policies or updates to industry standards. It is recommended to check the latest versions through the official website of the tax department or the national standard library to avoid tax risks or compliance issues caused by incorrect coding.
