Import Tips
• Verify the product is explicitly desk-top sized (under 75mm height typically) to avoid reclassification as office furniture under 9403
• Include material composition certificates confirming base metal construction like steel or aluminum
• Label as 'desk-top equipment' on commercial invoices to distinguish from bulk filing systems
