Import Tips
• Verify the hide's unit surface area does not exceed 28 square feet with precise measurements to avoid reclassification
• Obtain Certificate of Origin and tanning process documentation to confirm compliance with Chapter 41 exclusions for raw or hairy hides
• Ensure no fancy surface patterns or finishes, as those shift to other subheadings or 4114
