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
