Import Tips

Young bovine (calfskin) still classifiable as bovine; declare age if relevant for quality but not tariff

Avoid splitting further post-import without reclassification; track chain of custody for crusting proof

Test for reversible tanning to prevent fallback to 4101-4103 per chapter note (a)
