(a) cupboards, bookcases, other shelved furniture (including single shelves presented with supports for fixing them to the wall) and unit furniture;
(b) seats and beds.
3.
(A) In headings 9401 to 9403 references to parts of goods do not include references to sheets or slabs (whether or not cut to shape but not combined with other parts) of glass (including mirrors), marble or other stone or of any other material referred to in Chapter 68 or 69.

Such modular building units are normally designed to be assembled together to form permanent buildings.
CN Explanatory Notes
The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.
General notes to the chapter
FURNITURE; BEDDING, MATTRESSES, MATTRESS SUPPORTS, CUSHIONS AND SIMILAR STUFFED FURNISHINGS; LAMPS AND LIGHTING FITTINGS, NOT ELSEWHERE SPECIFIED OR INCLUDED; ILLUMINATED SIGNS, ILLUMINATED NAMEPLATES AND THE LIKE; PREFABRICATED BUILDINGS
General
For the purposes of this Chapter the term ‘furniture’ implies that these products are generally designed to remain in private dwellings or gardens etc. See also the definition of the term ‘furniture’ in the HS Explanatory Note to Chapter 94, General, second paragraph, (A).
Consequently, inflatable articles (such as inflatable chairs, inflatable lounge chairs etc.) that are generally designed to be taken along to different places (for example, camping grounds, the beach, etc.) and to be used there temporarily are not furniture within the meaning of Chapter 94, but depending on their constituent material are camping goods of heading 6306 or articles of Chapters 39 or 40.
Due to their objective characteristics these inflatable articles are easy to transport, because they are lightweight, easy and quick to set-up and to pack away.
Examples of some of these inflatable articles:
