Import Tips
• Provide engineering specs proving compliance with local building codes (IRC Appendix G) to facilitate customs clearance
• Document sawn bamboo origin; CITES may apply if harvested from protected species areas
• Avoid shipping fully assembled if possible—panels often flat-packed but pre-lashed to maintain 'assembled' status
