Import Tips
• Specify height and frame material in commercial invoice to confirm classification as 'other seats' not stools in separate categories
• Avoid bundling with counters, as sets may reclassify under 9403 for office/lab furniture
• Test for formaldehyde emissions if using teak composites to comply with TSCA Title VI
