Import Tips
• Eco-certifications for vegetable tanning can aid compliance but don't change HTS; declare processes accurately
• Measure splits to confirm 'grain splits' vs. flesh; customs often inspects for split type
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use, which might trigger end-use questions
