Import Tips
• Verify teak wood origin with CITES documentation if from restricted species to ensure compliance with endangered wood regulations
• Label fiber content of upholstery accurately per FTC rules; mismatches lead to CBP holds and fines
• Avoid classifying as office furniture (9401.71) if marketed for home use—provide retail packaging evidence
