Import Tips

Verify the leather is from bovine or equine animals and processed beyond crusting to avoid classification under 4104-4106

Provide documentation certifying no hair on the hide and that it's grain splits for upholstery use to ensure proper HTS classification

Check for reversible tanning processes, as those revert to headings 4101-4103 per chapter notes
