Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify 100% bamboo construction with supplier certificates to avoid reclassification to other wood materials

• Ensure labeling complies with CPSC standards for furniture stability and tip-over prevention

• Declare as finished seats, not parts, to prevent shifting to HTS 9401.90 as separate components
