Import Tips

• Verify the leather is in dry crust state (retanned, colored, or fat-liquored before drying) and not further finished to avoid reclassification under 4107

• Provide tannery certificates confirming no hair on and bovine origin, as chapter 41 excludes hairy hides covered in chapter 43

• Label clearly as 'upper leather' with thickness measurements, as sole leather alternatives may shift classification based on use declaration
