Import Tips
• Verify that the paper covering constitutes the majority of the exterior surface to qualify under this subheading; partial coverage may shift to other 4202 codes
• Provide detailed material composition documentation, including supplier affidavits confirming non-leather, non-plastic sheeting base
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as textile if any fabric lining is present—focus on outer covering material
