Import Tips
• Verify the unit surface area does not exceed 28 square feet (2.6 m²) with precise measurements to avoid reclassification to larger hide codes
• Obtain CITES certification if from endangered bovine species and ensure tannage process documentation proves 'further prepared after tanning or crusting'
• Label with accurate species (bovine) and avoid 'fancy' finishes like embossing to stay in this subheading; common pitfall is mismeasuring surface area
