The production of chairs under HS code 940210 typically involves a combination of metalworking, upholstery, and precision engineering. Manufacturers start by fabricating the chair's frame, often using sturdy metals like steel or aluminum. The frame is then outfitted with the necessary mechanisms to enable the rotating, reclining, and elevating functions. The seat and backrest are then upholstered with high-quality, durable materials to provide comfort and support. Finally, the chairs undergo rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure they meet safety and performance standards.

The main inputs required for the production of chairs under HS code 940210 include metal components (such as steel or aluminum), specialized mechanical parts for the rotating, reclining, and elevating mechanisms, upholstery materials (e.g., leather, fabric, foam), and various fasteners and adhesives. Manufacturers may also rely on advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software and precision manufacturing equipment to ensure the chairs meet the necessary specifications and ergonomic requirements.

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 940210 is the specialized chairs themselves, which are then distributed to and used by various healthcare and personal care professionals, such as dentists, barbers, and similar service providers.
