Import Tips
• Verify the leather is from bovine/equine animals and processed beyond reversible tanning to meet Chapter 41 definitions
• Include tannery certificates and chemical treatment records to prove it's 'further prepared' and not crust leather
• Avoid misclassification as sole leather by documenting footwear upper end-use; common pitfall is splitting grain vs. flesh splits
