Import Tips

Verify the leather is truly in wet-blue state (chrome-tanned, wet) and measure surface area accurately to confirm ≤2.6 m² for this subheading

Obtain tannery certificates proving no further preparation beyond wet tanning to avoid reclassification to finished leather headings

Ensure proper ventilation and temperature control during shipping to prevent drying, which could shift classification to crust leather
