Import Tips
• Include photos or samples showing plaiting process to distinguish from raw bamboo poles under Chapter 14
• Ensure strips are not over 1 cm wide if intended for fine weaving to match 'plaiting materials' definition
• Comply with phytosanitary certificates for bamboo to prevent agricultural import restrictions
