Import Tips
• Classify as man-made fibers (viscose rayon from bamboo) rather than vegetable fibers for accurate duties
• Include processing certifications showing regenerated cellulose origin to avoid vegetable fiber disputes
• Bulk import only; retail packaged units risk reclassification as household goods
