Mandatory as of 09/2025

Every sofa, bed frame, and dining set classified to 10 digits — before your container boards.

Furniture spans five HTS chapters and three active trade remedy regimes. A misclassified upholstered chair triggers Section 232 at the wrong rate. A wooden bed entered without the correct antidumping provision generates a $5,000 penalty and a hold. We file 9401–9403 entries daily. The table below is what we work from.

1.4 days average. $0 demurrage. Every container, every port.

Port dwell time is money. A single day in bonded warehouse costs $150–$400 in demurrage for a standard 40' container. We pre-file, pre-classify, and pre-position every entry so the release message is waiting when your vessel berths. The timeline below is our standard workflow — not our best case.

216.01% is the rate if your Chinese supplier isn't reviewed. We find out before you file.

Anti-dumping cash deposit rates on wooden bedroom furniture from China range from 0% for reviewed exporters to 216.01% for the China-wide entity. The cash deposit isn't the final duty — if rates increase in a subsequent review, the importer is retroactively liable for the difference plus interest. We identify your supplier's review status before the entry, not after the bill arrives.

⚠ Retroactive liability applies. If AD rate increases in subsequent review, importer owes the difference plus interest — even years after entry. Clearance monitors all open reviews and alerts clients to exposure.

ISF filed within 24 hours of booking. Every shipment. No exceptions.

CBP's Importer Security Filing (10+2) must be submitted no later than 24 hours before vessel departure. Late or inaccurate ISF triggers up to $5,000 per violation and flags your importer record for enhanced exam selection. We collect the 10 data elements at booking, file the same day, and update flex fields (stuffing location, consolidator) as they arrive. The checklist below is our standard intake form.
