Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's beyond reversible pre-tanning, as per chapter notes for headings 4104-4106
• Provide certificates of origin and leather thickness specs to avoid misclassification as upper leather
• Ensure no hair on hides; inspect for compliance with chapter exclusions for hairy skins
