Import Tips
• Obtain mill test reports for Janka hardness rating to support durability claims during customs review
• Separate finish type (UV-oil vs. aluminum oxide) clearly on invoice to avoid coating-related reclass
• Watch for quota restrictions on bamboo from specific countries; verify with Census Bureau
