Import Tips
• Provide humidity-control feature descriptions but confirm textile lining to stay in 4202.99.3000; avoid plastic inserts
• Label as 'cigar case' not 'humidor furniture' to prevent shift to Chapter 94 exclusions per Chapter Note 2(k)
• Include supplier affidavits on paper covering extent to counter potential downgrades to plain wood boxes
