Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the stand is not classified as a part of general use under Section XV, as fiberglass is a plastic material and may fall under Chapter 39 if it is a simple stand
• If the stand is designed to be placed on the ground, it qualifies under Chapter 94 Note 2, but if it is wall-mounted, it may be excluded
• Ensure the product is not considered a toy or decorative item under Chapter 95, as tiki torches are often used for ambiance
