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
