Import Tips

• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's fully prepared after crusting, avoiding reclassification to crust leather headings 4104-4106

• Include chemical treatment certificates for dyes and finishes to prove 'fancy' status and comply with REACH regulations

• Check for hair removal certification as chapter 41 excludes hides with hair on; common pitfall is mislabeling splits
