Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct value audits using CIF pricing; include all costs to accurately hit the mid-value band
• Label with country of origin and material content; bamboo imports require phytosanitary certificates if unprocessed
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'clips'—specify 'spring-type clothespins' to match tariff description
