Import Tips
• Include detailed product specs showing stationary and foldable traits to avoid reclassification during customs review
• Label for household use only; commercial variants may shift to other subheadings with higher scrutiny
• Package disassembled for shipping but declare as complete furniture to prevent parts classification pitfalls
