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
