Import Tips
• Document commercial end-use to differentiate from household seats if rates vary; avoid industrial exclusions
• Ensure no plastic or rubber components qualify as 'parts of general use' under Chapter 39 reclassification
• Use ISF filings early for teak origin verification to prevent CBP holds on sustainability claims
