Import Tips

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
