Import Tips
• Confirm that the glulam bamboo is properly cured and treated to meet Canadian building codes
• Keep records of the manufacturing process to demonstrate the product is prefabricated joinery, not raw lumber
• Check if a Canadian standards certification (e.g
• CCMC) is required for structural use
