Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'plantation-harvested teak' to match the exact subheading and avoid defaulting to broader categories

• Inspect for any metal reinforcements, as base metal parts could trigger Section XV exclusions from Chapter 94

• Label products clearly for retail sale to prevent reclassification as parts under 9401.90 if entered separately
