Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide species verification via lab testing if challenged; visual ID alone may not suffice for CITES

• Include assembly instructions if knocked-down to clarify it's complete furniture, not parts

• Avoid packaging as sets with non-furniture items to prevent composite goods reclassification
