Import Tips & Compliance

Verify material composition via lab testing to confirm 100% natural cane/osier/bamboo without plastic/rubber covering, as per subheading exclusions

Provide assembly diagrams showing integration into complete seats to avoid reclassification as unfinished furniture under heading 9401

Declare as 'seat parts' explicitly on commercial invoice; common pitfall is mislabeling as 'bamboo furniture' leading to higher duties
