Wooden Cigarette Case from Canada
A slim wooden case designed to hold 20 standard cigarettes, featuring a hinged lid and often engraved designs. It falls under HTS 4202.39.20.00 as a pocket-sized container of wood, wholly covered with paper for a polished finish, used for carrying cigarettes in pockets or handbags.

Import Tips
• Verify the wood is mainly covered with paper per HTS notes; provide material composition certificates to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no leather or plastic sheeting is used, as that shifts to other subheadings; include photos in entry documentation
