Import Tips
• Verify wood species documentation to confirm it's not from CITES-restricted sources like certain teak varieties
• Label as 'wooden jewelry box' with material content; ensure no metal hardware pushes it to Chapter 83
• Avoid misclassification as furniture by confirming it's handheld, not for stationary use
