Import Tips
• Provide veterinary certificates confirming hair removal and wet tanning process to validate chapter 41 classification
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'finished' if still wet; CBP may inspect moisture content
• Label shipments clearly as 'wet leather' to prevent quarantine issues from perceived raw hide status
