Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm 'further prepared after tanning or crusting' status, as reversible processes revert to 4101-4103
• Provide certificates of origin and chemical treatment records to prove no hair on and fancy finishing like embossing
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as Chapter 43 if any wool or hair residue remains, even minimally
