Import Tips
• Verify value per gross exceeds $1.70 with detailed invoices; undervaluation leads to reclassification or penalties
• Ensure wooden components dominate (over 90% by weight) to avoid metal article headings in Chapter 73
• Provide origin certification as tropical wood restrictions may apply under CITES if applicable
