Import Tips
• Include lab tests proving full grain integrity and no splitting to prevent shift to split categories
• Document the full preparation process post-tanning to comply with 'further prepared' requirement
• Ensure import declarations specify 'without hair on' to avoid Chapter 43 exclusions
