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
