Import Tips
• Verify the frame is unfinished without upholstery to avoid reclassification as a complete seat; provide detailed blueprints showing it's solely the wooden structure
• Ensure compliance with formaldehyde emission standards for wooden furniture parts
• Common pitfall: including any metal hardware may shift to other subheadings
