Import Tips
• Verify bamboo content exceeds 50% by weight for accurate classification under 9403.82; provide material test reports if challenged
• Ensure furniture is designed for floor placement per Chapter 94 notes; include assembly instructions and photos in entry docs
• Label for retail sale to prevent misclassification as bulk material; watch for CITES restrictions on certain bamboo species
