Import Tips
• Verify wood species and origin for CITES compliance if using restricted hardwoods like rosewood
• Provide detailed assembly instructions and photos to confirm it's finished kitchen furniture, not parts under 9403.90
• Label as 'kitchen use' to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is mislabeling as office shelving
