Import Tips
• Provide lab tests showing thickness and density suitable for soles to justify classification over upper leather
• Confirm no reversible tanning via process affidavits, as crust leather reverts to 4101-4103
• Declare as 'sides' accurately; full hides may trigger different valuation or quota issues
