Import Tips

• Verify cylinder pressure rating and stroke length match furniture specs to ensure compliance with end-use declarations

• Provide detailed technical specs and furniture compatibility certificates to avoid misclassification as machinery parts

• Label with material composition (iron/steel) and 'not for vehicle use' to prevent confusion with automotive components
