What are the standards for exporting compressed furniture

The standards for exporting compressed furniture mainly include the following aspects:

Material requirements: Furniture made of solid wood, leather, fabric, rattan, or composite materials can be exported by sea, but if the surface of the furniture has not been painted, it must undergo fumigation inspection. If the surface of the furniture has already been painted, there is no need for fumigation inspection, and it can be directly exported by sea

Packaging requirements: For large furniture items, such as single items weighing over 50 kilograms or long sides exceeding 150 centimeters, wooden frames or crates must be used for export, and wooden frames and crates must be equipped with more than 10 centimeters of clamps. This can protect furniture from damage caused by external compression or collision

Fumigation inspection: For unprocessed logs or wooden packaging items, fumigation treatment is required and an approved fumigation certificate must be provided. The purpose of fumigation of wooden furniture is to kill insects, their eggs, and other microorganisms hidden in the wood, prevent the spread of harmful organisms, and meet the inspection and quarantine regulations of the country of entry

Environmental requirements: Exported furniture must comply with environmental standards, especially for furniture exported to the European Union, which must pass CE certification. For example, chairs need to comply with EN1022 and EN12520 standards, tables need to comply with EN12521 standards, etc

Quality requirements: The quality requirements for furniture include the moisture content of the wood, consistency in the color of the panels, and the tightness of the patchwork or bonding lines. For example, natural defects in wood such as insect holes, black spots, and black lines are not acceptable
