Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the bamboo veneer is the primary face layer and the poplar core is clearly identified in your commercial invoice to support classification under 4412.10.00
• Be aware that mixed-species plywood (e.g
• bamboo faces with non-bamboo core) may be classified elsewhere, so provide a detailed product specification to the CBSA
• Verify whether the plywood meets Canadian structural or formaldehyde emission standards if used in furniture for retail sale
