Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify surface area ≤2.6m² per whole hide via measurement certification to avoid reclassification to larger hides
• Provide tanning process documentation confirming reversible pre-tanning was not used, distinguishing from raw crust in 4101-4103
• Label as 'upper leather' with end-use declaration; common pitfall is misdeclaring as lining leather which shares this subheading
