Spanish Cedar Faced Humidor Lining Panels from Japan
Thin plywood panels with Spanish cedar (Cedrela spp.) face ply for cigar humidor interiors, each wood layer ≤6mm, tropical outer ply, and clear sealant only. The aromatic properties of Spanish cedar naturally regulate humidity for tobacco storage. HTS 4412.31.26.10 applies due to the precise face ply specification and non-obscuring surface.
