Import Tips & Compliance

• Include lab tests confirming no reversible tanning process to stay out of headings 4101-4103

• Declare exact surface area measurements in import docs to prevent disputes over the 28 sq ft threshold

• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'crust' if fat-liquored and colored before drying
