Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm 'further prepared after tanning or crusting' per chapter notes, avoiding reversible pre-tanning classification
• Provide CITES certification if sourced from wild buffalo populations to ensure compliance with wildlife regulations
• Label substance content accurately; mislabeling as 'composition leather' shifts to 4115
