Import Tips
• Label with precise thickness and tempering details; swine leather often measured in iron units for compliance
• Ensure supplier certificates confirm no hair-on processing, aligning with chapter exclusions
• Test for chrome content if wet-blue precursor used; declare as crust only if dried post-retanning
