Import Tips & Compliance

Verify tanning process documentation to confirm it's further prepared after crusting, avoiding misclassification under 4104-4106

Provide certificates of origin and hair removal proof, as chapter 41 excludes hairy hides; common pitfall is incomplete splitting records

Label as 'upper leather' with thickness specs (<2.6mm typical) to differentiate from sole leather during customs inspection
