Import Tips
• Verify total value per gross does not exceed $1.35; provide detailed invoices showing unit count and pricing to Customs
• Confirm bamboo material origin with supplier certificates, as 'wood' includes bamboo per Chapter 44 notes
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring metal spring is incidental; primary material must be bamboo
