Import Tips
• Verify wooden frame composition and upholstery materials for accurate classification; provide lab tests if synthetic fibers exceed natural
• Ensure furniture meets U.S. flammability standards (e.g
• TB 117-2013) with proper documentation to avoid CBP holds
• Declare country of origin clearly, as wooden frames may trigger Lacey Act requirements for timber sourcing
