Import Tips
• Use eco-certifications for vegetable tanning to speed customs but confirm further preparation for 4107 applicability
• Measure hide weight pre/post-process to prove not qualifying under 4114 small hides exclusion
• Avoid marketing as 'raw' or 'crust' to prevent reclassification during audits
