Import Tips
• Ensure brackets are labeled for 'furniture or shelving use' to distinguish from construction hardware
• Provide engineering specs on load capacity in import docs to justify furniture classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial construction use, which could trigger reclassification
