Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the unit surface area does not exceed 28 square feet per hide to qualify under this subheading; larger hides shift to other codes

Provide tannery certificates and chemical treatment records to prove 'further prepared after tanning' status and avoid misclassification as crust leather

Ensure documentation confirms 'lining' use and full grain unsplit nature to prevent reclassification as upper leather or split leather
