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
