Import Tips
• Verify the mat is made solely from bamboo plaiting materials without synthetic bindings to stay within Chapter 46 exclusions
• Provide detailed photos and material certificates proving floor covering end-use to prevent reclassification as screens
• Check for pesticide residues on bamboo, as agricultural import rules may require fumigation certificates
