## Overlaps & pitfalls
- A ceramic animal with inlaid wood might fit both 6913 and 4420 — prioritize the **main material** (e.g., if glazed, use 6913).
- A glass figure with wooden base may be misclassified; classify by **primary body material**.
- “Artificial stone” in 6810.99 includes concrete and resin-based materials — avoid confusion with natural stone.
- If unsure, determine the **dominant material** by weight, texture, and appearance
