Import Tips
• Verify the pretanning is vegetable-based and reversible per chapter note 2(a) to avoid misclassification as tanned leather in 4104-4106
• Provide lab certification confirming no full tanning, parchment-dressing, or further preparation, and note if dehaired or split
• Exclude hides with hair/wool if from Yemen/Mongolian/Tibetan goats per note 1(c); declare preservation method (salted, limed, etc.)
