Import Tips & Compliance

• Include photos and material specs in entry docs to confirm bamboo origin and avoid wood tariff disputes

• Test for lead content in finishes per CPSC rules, common issue with imported bamboo furniture

• Avoid bulk shipments without assembly instructions, as they risk classification as parts under 9401.90
