Import Tips & Compliance

• Conduct fiber content verification to confirm 100% teak, preventing misclassification to cheaper general wood rates

• Include assembly instructions if shipped knocked-down to qualify as furniture rather than parts

• Watch for anti-dumping duties on Southeast Asian teak products; check USTR notices
