Import Tips
• Include processing certificates showing non-chrome vegetable tanning to differentiate from crust under 4101-4103
• Check for hair removal confirmation; hairy hides with wool go to chapter 43 per exclusions
• Avoid bulk waste parings which classify under 0511 instead of finished leather
