Import Tips

• Verify the top wear layer is at least 85% unidirectional bamboo fibers via supplier certification to meet subheading requirements

• Provide detailed cross-section diagrams showing multilayer construction and unidirectional bamboo orientation during customs entry

• Avoid misclassification as solid bamboo by documenting engineered multilayer structure; common pitfall leads to duty reassessment
