Eco-Friendly Bamboo Chopsticks from Mexico

Sustainable bamboo chopsticks from fast-growing plantations, untreated for a natural finish. They are classified under tariff item 4419.12.00 as pure bamboo tableware and kitchenware. The chapter notes explicitly include bamboo as a qualifying woody material, and the untreated state does not affect classification.
