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
