Import Tips
• Verify the surface material (e.g
• porcelain or painted steel) meets writing/drawing specifications; non-writing surfaces may reclassify
• Include invoices detailing frame material and dimensions to avoid scrutiny under furniture headings
• Ensure proper labeling for educational use to prevent misclassification as toys under Chapter 95
