Import Tips
• Confirm no fabric upholstery to stay in 9401.69.40; any padding moves it to upholstered categories
• Include photos or samples in entry documentation to prove floor-designed placement as per Chapter 94 notes
• Monitor for kiln-drying certificates to ensure teak meets phytosanitary standards and avoids fumigation delays
