Import Tips
• Document bamboo sourcing for FSC certification to meet green import preferences and avoid pest inspections
• Measure height accurately—counter stools over 30" may face height-based scrutiny but stay in 9401
• Avoid misdeclaring as 'metal furniture' (9403); focus on bamboo as principal material
