Import Tips

• Include photos or samples in entry documentation to confirm spring-type design and bamboo composition

• Calculate gross value precisely; even slight overvaluation moves to higher tariff suffix

• Check for pesticide treatments on bamboo; declare any to comply with USDA import requirements
