Import Tips
• Verify rattan origin with supplier certificates to comply with CITES restrictions on certain rattan species
• Ensure the frame is imported without fabric or foam to avoid reclassification as a finished seat under 9401.79
• Label clearly as 'rattan seat frame' to prevent customs disputes over material composition
