Import Tips

Verify certification of plantation-harvested teak with CITES documentation to avoid misclassification as wild teak under different subheadings

Ensure wooden frame construction is documented, as upholstered seats shift to 9401.69.41 or Chapter 94 exclusions

Check for Lacey Act compliance; declare wood origin accurately to prevent penalties for false declarations
