Import Tips
• Verify the leather has undergone irreversible tanning to distinguish from reversible processes under headings 4101-4103
• Provide documentation confirming bovine origin, full grain unsplit nature, and designation for gloves to avoid misclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing hair-on hides, which belong in Chapter 43 unless specified in Chapter 41 exceptions
