Import Tips
• 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
