Import Tips
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm 'further prepared after tanning or crusting' and ensure no reversible pre-tanning per chapter notes
• Provide certificates of origin and chemical treatment records to avoid misclassification as crust leather under 4104-4106
• Check for hair removal and splitting status; splits may shift to other subheadings within 4107
