Import Tips
• Document the parchment-dressing process explicitly, as it's a specific further preparation under heading 4107
• Measure hides to confirm 'whole' status vs sides or shoulders, which may go to 4107.19.50
• Beware of fancy finishes like embossing; those shift to other 'fancy' subheadings
