Import Tips
• Confirm 'full grains, unsplit' status via thickness measurements and grain surface integrity during customs inspection
• Label shipments clearly as 'glove and garment' leather to match the specific subheading and prevent reclassification
• Watch for split leather mislabeling, which would fall under other subheadings like 4107.92
