Import Tips

• Label clearly as 'office bentwood stool' with photos showing workplace use to support 9403 classification over general seating

• Provide bending process affidavits if challenged, as bent-wood requires evidence of steam or heat-forming technique

• Check for metal hardware; excessive parts may trigger scrutiny under parts headings
