Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'tripod easel' not 'furniture' to stay in Chapter 96; provide usage photos if challenged
• Ensure wood is sustainably sourced with FSC certification to ease import into eco-conscious markets
• Avoid bundling with paint or brushes, as sets may trigger different classification under 9603 for brush-related items
