Import Tips
• Provide detailed photos and specs of swivel base and height cylinder to avoid reclassification as fixed-height
• Comply with flammability standards (e.g
• California TB117) with test reports for upholstered components
• For flat-pack imports, ensure assembly instructions specify end-use as floor-standing furniture
