Import Tips
• Verify the plastic is reinforced with materials like fiberglass via lab testing to confirm classification under 9401.80.20
• Include detailed material composition certificates to avoid reclassification to rubber plastics (9401.80.10)
• Ensure seats are not designed for hanging or wall-mounting unless qualifying as shelved furniture per Chapter 94 notes
