Import Tips
• Verify material composition with supplier certificates to confirm rattan or similar natural fibers, avoiding misclassification as wood under 9401.99.10
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'seat frame only' to distinguish from complete seats, preventing reclassification to 9401.61 or similar
• Check for prohibited treatments like synthetic coatings that could shift to Chapter 39 plastics
