Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify unit surface area does not exceed 28 sq ft per whole skin to avoid reclassification to larger hides
• Provide lab certification confirming wet-blue chrome tanning and 'lining leather' designation for customs clearance
• Ensure no further finishing like oiling or dyeing, as that shifts to crust leather under 4104.19
