Import Tips & Compliance
• Include processing certificates showing post-crusting steps like fat-liquoring to justify 'further prepared' status
• Check for hair-on remnants; any trace could shift to chapter 43 if not fully removed
• Avoid bulk packaging misdeclaration; specify 'whole hides' vs sides to prevent duty evasion audits
