Import Tips
• Verify hides are solely salted or similarly preserved without tanning; provide preservation method certification
• Include detailed documentation on animal origin and dehairing status to meet chapter 41 exclusions
• Check for salt content to distinguish from fresh hides under 4101.21, avoiding duty reclassification
