by 2 inches. The box contains franckincense, myrrh and a small
18K gold camel securely fastened to a gold rope. The box is
packed in a green velvet fabric with a gold string tie.
The item is not considered a set and each item will be
separately classified as follows:

to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
