Silver Snuff Box
A traditional sterling silver snuff box with a hinged lid for personal tobacco use. Per Chapter 71 Note 9(b), articles of personal use normally carried in the pocket, such as snuff boxes, are classified as jewellery, but Note 2(A) excludes them from heading 71.13 if precious metal is a minor constituent; here, the box is wholly of silver, so it falls under heading 71.14 as silversmiths' wares.
