Import Tips
• Certify rust-resistant coatings; imports often face scrutiny for environmental compliance like lead-free paint
• Document weight capacity for public-use benches to support classification away from residential furniture
• Ship assembled to avoid parts classification; disassembled units risk 9401.90 reclassification
