Import Tips
• Verify unit surface area does not exceed 28 sq ft (2.6 m²) with precise measurements to avoid reclassification to larger hides
• Provide tanning process documentation confirming 'further prepared after tanning or crusting' to meet heading requirements
• Ensure no hair on surface and note 'fancy' features like embossing in commercial invoice to justify subheading
