Import Tips
• Include mill test reports showing post-tanning preparation beyond crust to distinguish from 4104-4106
• Label clearly as 'upholstery leather' with grain split specs to prevent misclassification as garment leather
• Avoid imports with reversible tanning, as chapter notes relegate them to raw or crust headings
