Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide lab tests confirming binder content under 3% if agglomerated bamboo is questioned during entry

• Use ISF filings early for bulk shipments to avoid delays in port clearance for low-value wooden goods

• Watch for moisture content specs; excess can trigger phytosanitary issues under wood import regulations
