Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's beyond reversible pre-tanning, as per chapter notes for headings 4104-4106
• Ensure certificate of origin specifies bovine source and 'without hair on' status to avoid reclassification under chapter 43
• Label clearly as 'glove leather' to match subheading; common pitfall is generic labeling leading to higher duties
