Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'crust - not further prepared' on invoices to prevent misclassification as finished leather
• Conduct pre-shipment moisture tests (<15% for dry state) and include lab reports in documentation
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; crust value depends on lamb breed and tanning quality
