Import Tips
• Test for folding mechanism safety; CBP often inspects for pinch hazards common in imports
• Use detailed invoices specifying frame material (e.g
• steel vs aluminum) to prevent duty evasion claims
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics parts; present as assembled for correct heading 9401 classification
