Import Tips
• Document the exact bamboo species and processing (e.g
• strand-woven) to confirm wear layer composition during customs valuation
• Include installation instructions if panels are for retail sale to distinguish from bulk commercial shipments
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no metal fasteners are present, which could shift to Chapter 73
