Import Tips
• Verify the clothespins are primarily wood with metal spring to avoid reclassification as metal articles under Chapter 73
• Provide detailed photos and material breakdown in entry documentation to confirm spring-type wooden construction
• Check for any surface treatments or coatings, as excessive non-wood components may shift classification
