Import Tips
• Include lab test reports confirming paper as the main covering material to prevent reclassification as plain wood under 4421
• Label clearly as 'toiletries or similar container' if multifunctional to align with 4202 scope
• Check for prohibited fur linings per Chapter 42 note 2(b), which would redirect to 4303/4304
