Import Tips
• Verify the frame is predominantly wood (over 50% by weight) to avoid reclassification to metal frame HTS codes
• Include child safety certifications like ASTM F404 in documentation to prove 'seats for children' status
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no convertible bed features, which shift to other subheadings
