Import Tips
• Verify bamboo origin certification to comply with Lacey Act declarations for plant materials
• Ensure edge-glued construction is documented, as loose strips would classify under 4402 as bamboo lumber
• Check for formaldehyde emission standards (EPA TSCA Title VI) applicable to composite wood products
