Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Document seat load capacity and adjustability mechanism to confirm it's a functional seat-stick

β€’ Avoid bundling with textile covers or cases, as they must be classified separately per heading 6603 notes

β€’ Label as 'mobility aid' not 'camping stool' to prevent reclassification as furniture
