Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Include chemical analysis reports showing post-crusting treatments like fat-liquoring to justify 4107 over 4101-4106

โ€ข Declare exact animal species (buffalo as bovine) on commercial invoice to align with hierarchy and avoid Chapter 43 misclassification

โ€ข Store and ship to prevent surface damage that could reclassify as lower-grade or split leather upon inspection
