Import Tips
• Ensure the bamboo beams are not treated with preservatives or chemicals that could alter their classification
• Provide a detailed product description and species name to the CBSA to support classification under 4418.30.00
• Verify that the beams are not further worked beyond sawing or planing, as additional processing may change the tariff heading
