Import Tips
• Obtain supplier affidavits confirming plantation origin to differentiate from restricted wild teak under endangered species laws
• Ensure wooden frames meet formaldehyde emission standards (e.g
• TSCA Title VI) with test reports for US market entry
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'office furniture'—household intent is key; pitfalls include incorrect statistical suffixes
