Import Tips
• Verify the top wear layer is at least 94% bamboo by volume for accurate classification; obtain mill certificates confirming species and layer composition
• Ensure panels are pre-assembled and not designed for stair use to avoid reclassification
• Common pitfall: mislabeling as solid bamboo leads to incorrect duty assessment
