The chair of evil

The company I work for, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, US, shipped me a cool chair for my home office.
I understand this is not going to be the most common package received by Italian Custom Authorities, and I was prepared to do the requested paperwork (and of course pay the custom duties and taxes) to pass thru the borders.
However one of the papers is really amazing in its stupidity; I had to sign a declaration about the intended usage of the chair (?!):
I will not use the chair for torture and repression according to CEE rule # 1236/05

And I am not joking.
