Import Tips

• Verify the wood species complies with USDA APHIS regulations for pests and ensure ISPM-15 heat treatment certification

• Provide detailed engineering drawings to customs proving it's a seat frame for motor vehicles, not furniture

• Avoid misclassification as general wooden furniture by including vehicle-specific mounting specs in documentation
