Import Tips

Verify the wood species certification to confirm teak origin, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties under CITES if applicable

Provide detailed invoices specifying frame material as teak and ensure furniture does not qualify as upholstered under heading 9401.61

Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete assembly documentation; chairs must be substantially complete to avoid parts classification in 9401.90
