Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's beyond crusting and meets 'further prepared' criteria, avoiding reclassification to 4104-4106
• Obtain certificates of origin for preferential duty treatment under USMCA or other FTAs, as fancy leathers often qualify
• Label with accurate species (bovine) and ensure no hair on hides to prevent customs disputes
