Import Tips & Compliance

• Label packages clearly as 'bamboo clothespins' to aid CBP examination and prevent reclassification

• Obtain mill certificates verifying no binders exceed limits if agglomerated bamboo used

• Watch for set packaging; individual vs set sales can affect valuation per gross
