Import Tips
• Confirm upholstery flammability compliance if for contract/hotel use, as per certain state regs post-import
• Use ISF filings early for wood furniture to preempt CBP holds on sustainability claims
• Separate frames from upholstery in shipments to avoid parts classification under 9401 notes
