Import Tips
• Photograph the conversion process for customs entry to substantiate classification over standard sofas in 9401.61
• Label weight-bearing capacity and safety certifications (e.g
• ASTM standards) to address potential liability concerns
• Avoid bundling with mattresses, as that could trigger set classification under different rules
