I can't help you specifically to furniture, other than to say there is a law or regulation for almost everything. We import cheese from the UK and we have to have tarif codes for every type of cheese (cow, goat, sheep - blue and white - then different codes again for different fat levels).

We tried importing potato crisps and clotted cream last year and that was nightmare!

The one good bit of advice I can give you is find a good import agent over here who knows all the rules and who will fill in the relevant documents for you (for a fee of course). If you are a member of a trade body in the UK they may also have specific info regarding your field. The UK dept of industry (or trade, can't remember the name) may also be able to help, as could the British Swiss Chamber of Commerce over here.

Good luck!
