Import Tips
• Verify bamboo origin certification to confirm nonconiferous classification and avoid coniferous wood tariffs
• Ensure documentation shows continuous end-shaping (e.g
• tongue/groove) and any additional edge/face profiling
• Check for end-jointing; pre-jointed pieces may require structural wood classification review
