Import Tips
• Obtain sustainability certifications early; CBP may request proof for 'eco-friendly' bamboo sourcing claims
• Segment invoices by value tiers to separate low-value 4421.91.80.24 from any higher-valued variants
• Ensure springs meet de minimis metal rules; excessive metal could reclassify to ferrous metal articles
