The US schedule explicitly separates bamboo burial caskets (4421201000) from wood burial caskets (4421202000). Since bamboo is botanically a grass rather than wood, this distinction matters: articles of bamboo are generally classified separately from wood articles throughout Chapter 44, and the correct line must be declared based on the primary material of construction.
Wooden caskets do not trigger mandatory USDA FSIS or FDA admissibility review. However, the Lacey Act declaration requirement applies to the wood or bamboo material used. Additionally, the FTC Funeral Rule governs domestic funeral industry pricing disclosures, but it does not create a customs admissibility barrier at the port of entry.
