Import Tips

• Verify material composition with lab tests to confirm rattan or similar natural fibers, as synthetic imitations may shift to Chapter 39

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'furniture part' status and end-use to prevent misclassification as finished goods under 9403.89

• Ensure CITES documentation if using protected rattan species to comply with wildlife import regulations
