Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis confirming chrome tanning levels to distinguish from crust or finished leathers
• Check for splits; unsplit vs split may affect value declaration but stays in same subheading
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'leather' – wet blues are semi-processed per chapter exclusions
