The following product descriptions may trigger customs alerts during audit/clearance:
🚨 WOODEN CABINET, CABINET, LOCKERS, NIGHTSTANDS, VANITY
All bedroom furniture items fall under "anti-dumping watchlist." Even if a product isn't subject to anti-dumping duties, using these terms in customs declarations may prompt CBP to flag shipments for anti-dumping review.
Recommendation: Avoid these descriptors to prevent customs re-examination or additional documentation requests.
