Support Frames

For detailed customs regulations and tariff information on support frames, visit the HTS database. This resource helps ensure proper classification and compliance during international shipping.

Support frames fall under HTS code 9902.14.66, which covers umbrella frames with specific structural requirements. This code ensures accurate classification for duty and regulatory purposes.

Support frames require a minimum 100 sq ft storage area with 12ft height clearance. Packaging must accommodate 48" shelving units and ensure 5-frame stacking limits to prevent instability.

Individual frames must be padded with foam or cardboard and wrapped in pallet wrap. Fragile stickers should be applied, and stacking should not exceed 5 frames to avoid collapse risks.

Use 48" high shelving units for vertical storage. Ensure pallets are interlocked for stability and label each frame clearly for efficient retrieval and handling.

A 12ft x 10ft loading dock with 10ft door width is required for access. Maintain 8ft clearance around dock bays for forklift operation and safe frame movement.

Shipping costs depend on packaging complexity, freight class (Class 90), and storage requirements. Optimize costs by using standardized pallets and minimizing fragile handling needs.
