Import Tips
• Verify the safe meets armored or reinforced standards with steel thickness documentation to avoid reclassification as general furniture
• Include material certificates confirming base metal construction (iron/steel) and fire ratings for customs clearance
• Label products clearly as 'safes' not 'cabinets' to prevent misclassification under office furniture headings
