Import Tips
• Provide fiber analysis if blended, ensuring primary classification as pure leather not composition (heading 4115)
• Declare exact surface area per piece; overages lead to higher subheadings or duties
• Avoid retail packaging that implies finished goods, keeping as bulk leather for manufacturing
