Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify that the rattan is natural and not synthetic imitation to avoid reclassification under plastics headings like 9401.71

• Provide Certificates of Origin from rattan-producing countries like Indonesia or Philippines for potential duty preferences

• Ensure furniture stability testing documentation to meet CPSC safety standards for household seats
