Import Tips
• 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
