Import Tips
• Document end-use as footwear uppers in commercial invoices to prevent reclassification as general leather
• Ensure no hair on hides per Chapter 41 note (c); include processing logs from tanner
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; appraise based on finished upper quality, not raw crust value
