Import Tips
• Test for fat-liquoring and retanning processes to ensure 'further prepared' status beyond crust definition
• Label clearly as 'sole leather' with thickness specs (>1.2mm typical) to prevent confusion with upper leather
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial parts; retail-ready hides stay in finished leather headings
