Import Tips
• Differentiate from 9403 by confirming no swivel/tilt mechanism in technical specs submitted to customs
• Include sustainability certifications like FSC for plantation teak to appeal to green importers
• Test for formaldehyde emissions in wood/upholstery per CARB Phase 2 if selling in California
