Import Tips
• Verify rattan material composition via lab testing to confirm over 50% natural rattan content for accurate classification
• Include detailed assembly instructions and photos in documentation to prove household end-use and avoid commercial reclassification
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as bamboo, which could shift to different subheadings; ensure CITES compliance if applicable
