Import Tips
• Document the manufacturing process showing bamboo wear layer application; distinguish laminate from engineered to prevent misclassification
• Check for tongue-and-groove assembly confirming 'assembled panels' status
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'flooring tiles' which changes classification
