What is considered packaging material, and do I have to declare it?
For the purposes of the Lacey Act declaration requirement, packaging material is defined as any material used to support, protect, or carry another item. This includes, but is not limited to, items such as: wood crating, wood pallets, cardboard boxes, packing paper used as cushioning, etc. Packaging material is exempt from the Lacey Act’s declaration requirement unless the packaging material itself is the item being imported or it is used for some other purpose than supporting, protecting or carrying another item.
