Import Tips & Compliance

• Calculate value strictly per gross unit; mixing sizes in packs complicates valuation assessments

• Fumigation certificates required for bamboo; untreated wood risks quarantine holds

• Avoid generic 'wood clips' descriptions on manifests; specify 'bamboo spring clothespins' for accurate classification
