Import Tips
• Verify all sides, lid, and bottom are solid wood without gaps or mesh to qualify under 4415.10.30.00; otherwise, it may shift to general crates
• Include phytosanitary certificates (ISPM 15 compliant) for treated wood to avoid customs delays and fumigation costs
• Label clearly as 'packing case' not 'furniture' to prevent misclassification into Chapter 94
