Import Tips
• Verify material composition is primarily plastics per Chapter 94 notes to avoid reclassification to rubber or other materials
• Include UV resistance certification and outdoor use documentation to support classification and prevent misrouting to indoor seats
• Check for metal hardware; if substantial, it may shift to heading 9401.71 as plastic/metal combination
