Import Tips
• Verify the ornament is primarily wood (over 50% by weight) to avoid reclassification to plastic or metal subheadings
• Include certificates of wood origin to comply with Lacey Act requirements for imported wood products
• Label as 'Christmas ornament' to distinguish from general wooden decorations under Chapter 44
