Import Tips
• Submit fiber diagrams proving unidirectional bamboo orientation despite chevron visual pattern to avoid reclassification
• Ensure click-lock or glue-down assembly documentation; loose tiles may classify differently as unfinished wood
• Comply with CARB Phase 2 emissions standards with lab test reports to prevent FDA or EPA import detentions
