Import Tips
• Provide fiber composition analysis confirming ligneous materials and density to support Chapter 44 'wood' equivalence for bamboo
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as particleboard; specify 'fiberboard' in entry docs with manufacturing process details
• Check for country-specific quotas on bamboo products and prepare sustainability certifications if marketed as green
