Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's beyond crusting and not reversible, as per chapter notes for headings 4104-4106
• Obtain certificates of origin and chemical treatment records to prove compliance with REACH and CITES if applicable for exotic bovine sources
• Measure thickness accurately; upholstery leather often exceeds standards for heading 4114, avoiding misclassification pitfalls
