Import Tips
• Document dye application as part of non-reversible further preparation to stay in 4107
• Avoid bulk packaging that might suggest industrial parts, potentially shifting to Chapter 42 if assembled
• Label fiber content if blended, though pure leather; blends could invoke textile chapters
