Import Tips
• Verify bamboo origin with supplier certificates as HTS distinguishes bamboo from other woods; misclassification risks penalties
• Ensure pins meet 'plain' definition—no grooves, coatings, or modifications—to avoid reclassification to other subheadings
• Provide detailed dimensions and photos in entry docs; common pitfall is confusing with fluted dowels under different codes
