Import Tips
• Verify the leather has undergone irreversible tanning to distinguish from reversible pre-tanned hides in 4101-4103
• Provide certificates confirming buffalo origin and full grain unsplit status to avoid reclassification
• Check for hair removal documentation, as hides with hair may fall under Chapter 43
