Import Tips

Verify the leather is from bovine or equine animals without hair on, and confirm full grain unsplit status via supplier certificates to match 4107.11.60 exactly

Include detailed tanning process documentation and test reports for substance content to comply with U.S. customs leather classification rules

Avoid misdeclaration as sole leather if primarily for uppers; measure thickness and test for upper vs. sole properties to prevent reclassification
