Import Tips
• 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
