Import Tips

• Verify the seat's convertibility feature with technical specs to confirm HTS 9401.41 classification over non-convertible wooden chairs in 9401.61

• Provide detailed wood species documentation (e.g

• oak, maple) and CITES certification if using restricted hardwoods to avoid customs delays

• Ensure upholstery fabric content is labeled separately to prevent misclassification as composite material goods
