Import Tips

• Label upholstery fabric content accurately (e.g

• polyester vs. leather) to match declarations and prevent reclassification

• Include assembly instructions if knocked-down for import to qualify under furniture valuation rules

• Watch for anti-dumping duties on metal furniture from Asia; check USTR lists pre-shipment
