Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the percentage of wood vs. paper coverage; CBP may require lab tests for 'mainly covered' determination
• Label as 'wooden case with paper veneer' to prevent confusion with plastic sheeting under 4202.32
• Avoid adding leather linings, as that excludes from this subheading per Chapter 42 notes
