Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's beyond reversible pre-tanning, as per chapter notes for headings 4104-4106
• Provide CITES certification if from endangered bovine species; declare as full-grain unsplit whole hides accurately
• Avoid misclassification as crust leather (4104-4106) by proving final preparation like fat-liquoring post-drying
