Rough Bamboo Poles from Mexico
Rough bamboo poles (Moso bamboo) harvested from plantations, stripped of branches and sheaths but not split or squared. Per Chapter 44 Note 6, bamboo is treated as wood, and these unprocessed poles fall under tariff item 4403.99.00 as 'other' wood in the rough.

Import Tips
• Ensure bamboo poles are free of pests and soil; a phytosanitary certificate is typically required
• Declare the poles as 'wood in the rough' under Chapter 44, not as plaiting materials (Chapter 14)
• Verify the moisture content, as CBSA may require treatment for certain bamboo products
