Import Tips
• Conduct fiber analysis if any fabric elements are present to confirm primary wooden frame classification
• Include photos and assembly instructions in shipments to demonstrate household end-use and prevent office reclassification
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; appraise based on teak's premium market value to evade anti-dumping scrutiny
