Import Tips
• Confirm the bamboo is densified (not merely laminated) and that no binder exceeds 3% by weight, as higher binder content could alter classification
• Have technical specs ready to prove the treatment
• Check if the blocks are cut to shape for cutting boards, which might trigger Chapter 44 exclusions
