Import Tips

• Document weatherproofing certifications; outdoor use doesn't change classification but affects FDA wood treatment rules

• Avoid bulk shipments without seat-specific labeling to prevent customs holding as Chapter 44 lumber

• Pair with import invoices showing original seat HTS for traceability
