Import Tips

• Verify the frame is predominantly wood to avoid reclassification under metal frame headings like 9401.71

• Provide detailed photos and material breakdowns in entry documentation to confirm 'other seat' status

• Ensure no convertible bed features, as those shift to different subheadings and may require additional safety certifications
