Import Tips

• Include photos or specs proving attachment to chair arms to distinguish from general cushions excluded by Chapter notes

• Ensure no metal reinforcements, as that could trigger base metal parts classification

• Declare as 'seat parts' explicitly on commercial invoice for proper 9403 heading
