Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the frame is primarily metal (e.g

aluminum) via material testing to avoid reclassification to wooden or plastic frames

Include assembly instructions and confirm stability for outdoor use to meet safety standards like ASTM F833 for folding chairs

Declare as 'outdoor' with weather-resistant features; common pitfall is mislabeling indoor chairs, leading to audits
