Import Tips

• Use detailed photos and material breakdowns in entry docs to prove 'wholly covered with paper' per chapter notes

• Avoid generic 'wallet' descriptions; specify dimensions under 6 inches for pocket classification

• Watch for CBP challenges on lamination thickness, which could reclassify as pure plastics
