Import Tips
• Document the leather's preparation stage to confirm it's beyond crust (retanned, fat-liquored) as defined in chapter notes
• Use detailed descriptions distinguishing from upholstery leather to stay in strap/collar category
• Ensure no composition leather elements, which are restricted to heading 4115
