Import Tips
• Verify bamboo origin with supplier certificates to confirm vegetable plaiting material status and avoid reclassification
• Ensure no synthetic bindings or reinforcements that could shift to plastics headings; document natural composition
• Label as 'wickerwork' not furniture to prevent Chapter 94 misclassification during customs review
