Import Tips & Compliance

• Label shipments clearly as 'plain bamboo dowel pins' to match HTS description; avoid generic 'wood pins' labeling

• Conduct fiber content testing if origin disputed, as bamboo must be distinguished from rattan or cane alternatives

• Watch for minimum order quantities triggering different duty treatments; small retail packs may need different declarations
