Import Tips

• Provide lab reports confirming binder content <3% for strand-woven bamboo to match agglomerated wood definitions

• Label panels clearly as 'for mosaic floors' to support classification; generic labeling risks reclassification

• Comply with Lacey Act by declaring plant material origin and species to prevent wildlife law violations
