Import Tips
• Document with blueprints proving furniture end-use; CBP often scrutinizes legs for Chapter 44 downgrade
• Fumigation certificates required for mahogany to meet phytosanitary rules; pitfall is shipment delays
• Batch shipments need consistent part descriptions to prevent averaging errors in duty calculation
