Import Tips
• Verify the face ply thickness exceeds 6 mm through lab testing or manufacturer specs to confirm 4418.73.20.00 classification
• Provide detailed cross-section diagrams showing bamboo wear layer and mosaic assembly to avoid reclassification as simpler flooring
• Include Certificates of Origin proving bamboo sourcing, as mixed wood/bamboo content affects duty rates
