Certain wooden office and bedroom furniture from specific countries has been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders. Importers should verify whether their specific product and supplier country are covered by active orders with US Customs and Border Protection before entry.

Fixtures that are permanently or semi-permanently attached to a building structure may be classified differently from freestanding furniture under HTS schedules. The distinction affects duty rates and, in some cases, whether the goods are treated as furniture or as building components. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable when the installation method is ambiguous.
