Import Tips

Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) proving HDPE plastic construction and UV resistance for outdoor claims to justify 9401.80

Document textile percentage (e.g

polyester fabric slats) accurately; exceeding certain thresholds may trigger textile quota restrictions

Avoid describing as 'modular' if components are not interchangeable, as this could misclassify under furniture sets
