Import Tips

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
