Import Tips

Verify the top wear layer is at least 70% bamboo by volume with lab testing documentation to confirm classification

Include detailed layer composition specs and species certification in entry docs to avoid reclassification to simpler bamboo products

Check for formaldehyde emission compliance (CARB Phase 2) as required for composite wood flooring imports
