Import Tips
• Verify the leather is from bovine or equine animals and confirm it's full grain unsplit via supplier certification to avoid misclassification
• Ensure documentation proves no reversible tanning process was used, distinguishing from headings 4101-4103
• Label clearly as 'not fancy' and provide thickness measurements if split, to prevent shifts to other subheadings
