Import Tips
• Verify the leather is from whole bovine hides, full grain unsplit, and specifically processed for belting to confirm HTS 4107.11.70.30 classification
• Provide tanning process documentation and CITES certificates if applicable for exotic bovine sources to ensure compliance
• Avoid common pitfalls like confusing with split leather (4107.12) or fancy leather which shifts to different subheadings
